Coexistence of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Syringomyelia: A Case From a Rural Center in Nigeria.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus and syringomyelia are two distinct conditions with different pathogenetic pathways as well as diverse genetic and clinical characteristics. The coexistence of these two conditions has not been previously documented in the literature. We describe a 38-year-old male who presented with progressive bilateral weakness and pain in the lower limbs and loss of sphincteric functions three years following a diagnosis of lupus nephritis. Relevant autoantibody testing, hypocomplementemia, and biopsy-proven membranous lupus nephritis confirmed the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus and magnetic resonance imaging of the spine confirmed the presence of syringomyelia. Therapy for lupus nephritis was instituted accordingly, while the patient was referred for neurosurgical intervention. The mechanism underlying syrinx formation in this patient is uncertain and, thus, further research is critical in this area.
