Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis with interstitial lung disease double-positive for anti-MDA5 and anti-PL12 antibodies.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 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
Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) and anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies are two major myositis-specific autoantibodies with distinct clinical features. However, the clinical course remains unclear in patients with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM)-interstitial lung disease (ILD) who have co-existing anti-MDA5 and anti-ARS antibodies. Here, we describe the case of a 32-year-old woman with CADM-ILD who had anti-MDA5 and anti-PL12 antibodies. Her serum ferritin level was within the normal range. However, chest computed tomography revealed bilateral lower-lobe consolidation and ground-glass opacities. Treatment with prednisolone and immunosuppressants was successful in improving the skin lesion and ILD, but relapse occurred on reducing the dose of prednisolone. These clinical features match those of anti-ARS antibody-positive dermatomyositis-ILD. Because these two conditions show significantly different clinical features and require different intensities of treatment, clinicians should carefully follow-up these patients throughout the course of the disease.
