1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Panniculitis, a rare cutaneous manifestation in patients with dermatomyositis (DM), usually presents as a painful erythematous lesion. We herein report a 32-year-old woman with panniculitis that appeared as an indurated plaque without pain or redness after a 4-month episode of clinically amyopathic DM during treatment with prednisolone and tacrolimus. She experienced no pain; however, the firmness and extent gradually worsened. Based on our findings, including the histopathological results, DM panniculitis was diagnosed. Azathioprine was additionally administered, leading to remission. DM panniculitis can develop as a painless induration during immunosuppressive treatment, and azathioprine may be a useful treatment.
