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
Introduction: Myositis in systemic lupus erythematous may present in a wide range of clinical spectrum. It can be part of an overlap syndrome, or mixed connective tissue disease or a musculoskeletal manifestation of systemic lupus erythematous itself. Case presentation: Here, we present a young girl with an underlying systemic lupus erythematous presented with the typical manifestation of severe proximal myopathy in the background of normal creatine kinase values. The diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematous myopathy was made after excluding other more common causes of myopathies which in itself is a very rare occurrence. Discussions: A normal creatine kinase values does not exclude systemic lupus erythematous myositis, but make the diagnosis more challenging. However, there are other parameters or diagnostic tools which can be used to exclude a myositis. Conclusion: This case elucidates the importance of history and physical examination in the face of some conflicting laboratory data.
