A Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis under Methotrexate and Etanercept Treatment Presenting with Fever and Pancytopenia: An Unexpected Guest.
Article in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Leishmania species induce chronic intracellular parasitism, while visceral leishmaniasis can become fatal, if left untreated. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis might feature a genetic predisposition to infection from Leishmania species, besides the status of immunosuppression. Several cases of visceral leishmaniasis in patients with underlying rheumatoid arthritis manifesting with cytopenias with or without organomegaly have been published so far; however, only three cases presenting with pancytopenia without splenomegaly have been described. Herein we describe a case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with fever and pancytopenia without organomegaly on a background of rheumatoid arthritis under methotrexate and etanercept treatment, finally diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis.
