Hydroxychloroquine-Induced Toxic Myopathy Causing Diaphragmatic Weakness and Lung Collapse Requiring Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 42-year-old woman with juvenile idiopathic arthritis was treated with anakinra, corticosteroids, and hydroxychloroquine when she developed chronic hypoxic respiratory myopathy. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure and required prolonged intubation, subsequent tracheostomy, and long-term ventilatory support due to multiple failed spontaneous breathing trials after discontinuation of anakinra and steroids. Muscle biopsy revealed type II fiber atrophy with the accumulation of autophagosomes and vacuoles presenting as curvilinear bodies, elevated MHC class I antigen expression, and infiltration by CD68+ macrophages and CD8+ T cells. Type II fiber atrophy was attributed to corticosteroid use and curvilinear bodies due to blockade of autophagy by hydroxychloroquine. After hydroxychloroquine was discontinued, the patient recovered to her prehospitalization baseline.
