A Rare Case of Rhupus Syndrome With Systemic Involvement: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Based on clinical signs, symptoms, radiological, and serological findings, a 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with an overlap between rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, referred to as rhupus syndrome. Her condition was complicated by lupus nephritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis. She improved after receiving steroids, hydroxyquinone, and cyclophosphamide. There are no established criteria for diagnosing rhupus syndrome. Being aware of autoimmunity and overlapping illness signs and using specific diagnostic tests are crucial. Early therapy may avoid irreversible organ damage.
