Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is a rare but fatal complication in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients. The clinical value of radiological manifestations and serum cytokines remain unknown in this systemic crisis. This study aims to investigate the clinical value of PET/CT scan and cytokine profiles in predicting and understanding sHLH in IIM patients. Methods: Adult IIM patients who were admitted to the four divisions of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (FAHZJU) from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020 were reviewed. PET/CT scan, cytokine profiles, and other factors of patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected and analyzed. Results: Sixty-nine out of 352 IIM patients were finally enrolled into the study. Ten patients developed sHLH and 70.0% of them died within 6 months. After false discovery rate (FDR) correction and multivariate logistic regression analysis, increased serum interferon (IFN)-γ level ( Conclusion: Increased serum level of IFN-γ, elevated splenic FDG uptake, and positivity of anti-MDA5 antibody were significantly correlated with development of sHLH in IIM patients. Lung and lower digestive tract might also be affected due to systemic immune activation in IIM patients with sHLH. In addition, splenic FDG uptake, in combination with serum IFN-γand anti-MDA5 antibody, was found valuable in predicting development of sHLH in IIM patients. Among IIM patients with sHLH, anti-MDA5-antibody-positive DM patients showed higher tendency for unfavorable outcome.
