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

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy encompasses a group of acquired, heterogeneous, systemic diseases of the skeletal muscle, including adult polymyositis, adult dermatomyositis, juvenile dermatomyositis, juvenile polymyositis, inclusion body myositis, and necrotizing myopathy, all resulting in muscle weakness. Granulomatous myositis (GM) is a rare myopathy disorder histologically characterized by the development of endomyseal and/or perimyseal granulomas in striated muscle. GM is often associated with sarcoidosis. GM has also been associated with myasthenia gravis, inflammatory bowel disease, thymoma, and malignancy. We are reporting a rare case of a 13-year-old girl with GM without associated disease that was refractory to multiple medications, and responded well to rituximab.
