Dermatomyositis Presenting with Generalized Subcutaneous Edema.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Generalized subcutaneous edema is rare in dermatomyositis. We herein report an 82-year-old woman with dermatomyositis who presented with generalized subcutaneous edema. Three weeks before admission, she first noticed facial edema, and the symptoms exacerbated, with limb edema occurring. On admission, muscle weakness in the limbs and skin rash were noted. Her muscle enzyme levels were elevated, and serum anti-transcriptional intermediary factor 1-γ antibody was detected. She was diagnosed with dermatomyositis and treated with corticosteroids and tacrolimus, which improved her muscle weakness, muscle enzymes, and edema. Thus, generalized subcutaneous edema can occur during dermatomyositis, with facial edema as the initial symptom.
