A Rare Case of Polymyositis and Systemic Sclerosis Overlap Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Diffuse scleroderma is a kind of scleroderma in which the immune system malfunctions, leading to excessive production of collagen in the skin and a variety of organ abnormalities. Based on previously recognized criteria, overlap syndrome is a disorder in which two or more medical illnesses are documented in a single patient. These syndromes are significantly more prevalent in illnesses with mixed connective tissue. In this case report, we present a patient with overlapping systemic sclerosis and polymyositis symptoms. The treatment and diagnosis of this extremely uncommon condition are discussed in further detail.
