Clinical Characteristics of Myositis Associated with Graft-Versus-Host Disease.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purpose of reviewRecipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at increased risk for inflammatory myositis; histological subsets reported include dermatomyositis, necrotising myopathy and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD)-related myositis. Though corticosteroids and various immunosuppressive therapies have been used, there is a lack of consensus guidelines dictating therapy. RECENT
findingsRecent evidence suggests the fascia as a preferential target in cGVHD myositis, with conditioning regimens promoting fascial microtrauma. Positron emission tomography (PET) can be a useful diagnostic tool, and case reports suggest that the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib may have therapeutic potential. Emerging therapies include targeted B cell depletion with rituximab, and extracorporeal photophoresis. Clinicians need to be vigilant for the development of inflammatory myositis post-allogeneic HSCT as most patients respond to treatment. Advances in immunohistochemistry to determine the dominant cell type and cytokine profile may enable targeted and individualised therapies.
