1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune disorder that is characterized by overlapping clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, and myositis. Both SLE and mixed connective tissue disease patients are more prone to have acute endocarditis, and immunosuppression is a risk factor for recurrence of infective endocarditis. We present the case of a 53-year-old female with mixed connective tissue disease presenting with interstitial lung disease and precapillary pulmonary hypertension. The patient was chronically medicated with prednisolone, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine. She was admitted for
