Paraneoplastic dermatomyositis and prostate cancer: Myopathy regression under cancer-directed therapy.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Prostate cancer is the second most frequent malignancy in men worldwide and the fifth leading cause of death. Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by musculocutaneous manifestations. However, DM can also present as a paraneoplastic syndrome of an underlying neoplasm. We report a case of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma in the setting of severe dysphagia, muscle weakness and a facial erythematous rash. At first, the DM-related symptoms resolved with the initial treatment for the underlying malignancy. Yet, they flared up as the tumor progressed. To sum up, DM is a rare systemic disorder with unknown etiology. There is a well-established association between DM and malignancy. Malignancy-headed therapy can improve DM manifestations and the recurrence of DM symptoms may act as an early warning of malignancy relapse.
