COVID-19 and Sepsis in an Atypical Case of Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder Presenting With a Myasthenic Crisis.

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
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune illness that causes neuromuscular junctions to be damaged by anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies. It is a very rare condition that is more common among women. Fatigable fluctuating diplopia or ptosis is the characteristic early appearance of this condition. Dysphagia or dysphonia may be present in rare cases. This illness can affect any group of skeletal muscles, including those in the neck and upper limbs. It can also affect the muscles that help you breathe, which can lead to breathing failure. We present a case of a 20-year-old female diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease presenting with acute respiratory failure as the initial presentation of MG. Clinicians have to have a high index of suspicion for myasthenia when patients arrive with fatigable muscle weakness. This will cut down on the amount of money spent on investigations and the risk of morbidity.
