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

We present a challenging clinical case of an antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) with a four-year follow-up. The disease debuted with skin manifestations and interstitial lung disease (ILD), then the severe Raynaud's phenomenon came to the fore with the development of occlusive vasculopathy and critical digital ischemia. After the relief of vascular lesions, the severity of the condition was determined by ILD. The use of combined pulse therapy with cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone, treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin made it possible to reduce the activity of ASS: lung lesion and the progression of vasculopathy. However, after the termination of an unplanned pregnancy, the patient again experienced an exacerbation with ILD progression. It was decided to use rituximab, against which the patient's condition was stabilized. Clinical and laboratory remission was achieved, which was maintained for a year and a half. However, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic triggered a re-exacerbation of the pulmonary domain of the disease, which forced us to use a nintedanib with a positive clinical and instrumental effect.
