The Presence, Location, and Degree of Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Relation to Myocardial Dysfunction and Poor Prognosis in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

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
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) typically develop myocardial fibrosis. No studies have investigated the clinical significance of the presence, location, and degree of fibrosis in SLE patients. Seventy-four SLE patients were included. Thirty-seven non-autoimmune disease patients and thirty-seven healthy individuals were included as controls. Myocardial fibrosis was evaluated at cardiac magnetic resonance via a qualitative and quantitative assessment of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Myocardial function was measured via speckle-tracking echocardiography. All patients were followed up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The presence, locations, and degrees of LGE disturbed regional and global myocardial function. The presence of LGE, left ventricular free-wall LGE (LVFW LGE), and severe LGE were all independent predictors of MACE in SLE patients [LGE presence HR: 3.746 (1.434-9.79),
