Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Disguise: Acute Pancreatitis as Initial Presentation.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. 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
Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) can rarely coexist with lupus pancreatitis. We report on a 20-year-old woman with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Laboratories were notable for pancytopenia, elevated liver enzymes, elevated ferritin, lipase, and triglycerides. Chest and abdominal computerized tomography (CT) scans revealed bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy, patchy lower lobe consolidations, small pleural effusions, ascites, and splenomegaly. Peritoneal fluid cytology showed lymphocytes and histiocytes with hemophagocytic changes. Immunological workup met the criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Pulse-dosed steroids relieved her condition. Given the high mortality rate associated with MAS, early detection of concomitant pancreatitis and MAS in the context of underlying SLE is critical.
