Chorea as a Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multisystemic manifestations, including central nervous system involvement. Chorea is a hyperkinetic movement disorder, characterized by involuntary, dance-like and poorly coordinated movements. Acute-onset chorea is a rare neuropsychiatric inaugural manifestation of SLE. This presentation is frequently associated with positive antiphospholipid antibodies, and it usually improves with immunosuppressive treatment. We report the case of a 20-year-old female, who presented with acute onset left hemichorea and fever. Analysis showed active urine sediment. A detailed anamnesis and evaluation revealed several clinical manifestations suggestive of SLE with multiorgan involvement: neurological, renal, cardiac, hematological, joint and mucocutaneous. This case emphasizes the importance of keeping a high clinical awareness for rarer presentations of common autoimmune disorders, such as SLE, which can be severe and should be promptly treated. Furthermore, the relevance of SLE in the differential diagnosis of acute-onset movement disorders in young patients is highlighted in this report.
