Postpartum Myasthenic Crisis in a Patient with SLE: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of numerous autoantibodies while Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease. The coexistence of both diseases is rarely reported in the literature. Case presentation: We report a case of a 29-year-old female SLE patient with chief manifestations of nephritis, inflammatory polyarthritis and cytopenia presented with postpartum shortness of breath and dysphagia requiring emergency intubation and difficulty in weaning. Later she developed chronic respiratory acidosis with bilateral ptosis. Her diagnosis of myasthenia was confirmed with a positive neostigmine test and nAChR antibodies. She was given 5 cycles of PLEX and pyridostigmine with significant improvement of symptoms and extubated safely. Conclusion: It is one of the rare case reports of SLE preceding MG with significant improvement by anticholinergic therapy.
