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

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are prone to various infections due to autoimmune defects and long-term use of immunosuppressive agents. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TBC) infection is a common infection in patients with SLE, especially in developing countries such as China. SLE and TBC may overlap and confuse a clinical picture, bringing great difficulties for the diagnosis and treatment. This article reports a case of vesicorectal fistula caused by intestinal TBC complicated with SLE, where the manifestation was recurrent diarrhea, initially treated as lupus-associated intestinal vasculitis without notable response. This case suggests that we should pay attention to close monitoring of tuberculosis-related indicators during the follow-up period of SLE patients, especially in endemic areas, and early diagnosis and treatment of TBC can reduce tuberculosis-related complications and significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
