Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Associated with Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia and Cytomegalovirus Colitis in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 68-year-old woman presenting with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted due to pancytopenia caused by methotrexate. Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia was diagnosed based on the abnormal shadows observed on chest computed tomography, the presence of serum β-D-glucan, and positive P. jirovecii-DNA results in a sputum analysis. Subsequently, after treatment with leucovorin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, lung consolidation was found to be aggravated, along with a rapidly increasing leukocyte count. In addition, cytomegalovirus colitis was diagnosed. Both conditions were associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome caused by recovery from leukopenia. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy and ganciclovir.
