Fatal Thrombotic Microangiopathy and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in a Patient with Anti-melanoma Differentiation-associated Gene 5 Antibody-positive Dermatomyositis.

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 56-year-old woman presented with dermatomyositis positive for anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody. No interstitial lung disease was detected. Despite treatment with methylprednisolone pulse therapy and cyclosporine, dysphagia developed. Furthermore, the presence of thrombocytopenia, elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels, and an undetectable haptoglobin level suggested the possibility of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Disturbed consciousness developed shortly after TMA onset, and brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed hyperintensity lesions in the bilateral basal ganglia, thalami, and brainstem. The patient was diagnosed with atypical posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome before dying of heart failure later that day. In conclusion, early TMA recognition and prompt intensive treatment are critical in such cases.
