[Myositis: from diagnosis to treatment].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundInflammatory diseases of the skeletal muscle are important, often severe diseases with a considerable impact on the quality of life. In addition to muscle weakness there is often involvement of other organs, such as the heart, lungs and esophagus with symptoms such as dyspnea or dysphagia. PURPOSE: A fast and effective treatment is only possible by an early and reliable diagnosis according to current national and international standards.
methodsThe diagnostic repertoire includes autoantibody testing, imaging, muscle biopsy, detection of extramuscular manifestations, e.g., by high-resolution lung computed tomography (CT) and an individualized tumor search. An optimal treatment and the avoidance of irreversible damage, such as a loss of walking ability, are only possible through a good interdisciplinary cooperation including neurology or pediatrics, rheumatology, dermatology, neuropathology, pulmonology and cardiology.
resultsIn addition to standard immunosuppression with glucocorticosteroids, azathioprine or methotrexate, escalation treatment with rituximab is now well established. Interdisciplinary treatment according to national and international standards, such as guidelines on myositis, should be coordinated at qualified centers of excellence. DISCUSSION: Helpful resources are the MYOSITIS NETZ ( www.myositis-netz.de ) and the International Myositis Society (iMyoS; www.imyos.org ).
