Fatal ascending aortic aneurysm in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aortic aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening condition with higher incidence in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Patients usually present with nonspecific symptoms and diagnosis is typically made incidentally through imaging studies. Management strategies include medical therapy to control inflammation and hypertension, surgical intervention for large or symptomatic aneursyms, and close monitoring for early detection of complications. We present a case of a 49-year female with multiple joint pain and other nonspecific symptoms for 7 years. Anti-ds DNA and ANA titre were significantly high and CT angiogram showed ascending aortic aneurysm measuring 5.5 cm. Conservative management was started with steroids, hydroxychloroquine, and antihypertensives, while awaiting surgery. However she suddenly collapsed, probably due to aneurysm rupture and could not be revived. Our case report therefore emphasizes the importance of close surveillance and timely intervention to minimize the morbidity and mortality in these patients.
