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

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases have their own specific clinical presentation, and can affect multiple systems. Neurological involvement of autoimmune rheumatic diseases may involve both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Inflammation of neural tissue, autoantibody-mediated reactions, and small vessel vasculitis may be effective in the pathogenesis of neuropathy in autoimmune rheumatological diseases. Autoimmune rheumatic disease with pure motor neuron involvement is very rare in the literature. The case is here presented of a 58-year-old female patient who presented with the complaints of increasing pain and weakness in the extremities and was diagnosed with lower motor neuron disease and overlap syndrome. The patient was treated with cyclophosphamide, pulse steroid, hydroxychloroquine and intravenous immunoglobulin. After 3 months of treatment, a significant improvement was observed in the patient's clinical complaints and laboratory parameters. In conclusion, some patients with undiagnosed autoimmune rheumatic diseases may have neurological complaints. Clinicians should investigate patients with such neurological complaints for autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
