1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A diagnosis of polymyositis can readily be made when there is a typical history of proximal muscle weakness together with clinical findings, and there is corroboratory evidence in the form of elevated creatine kinase lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase, and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (aspartate aminotransferase). A muscle biopsy usually helps in making the confirmatory diagnosis. A female in her 50s presented with non-healing multiple deep necrotic ulcers with muscle weakness. The initial possibility of vasculitis ulcers remained. Later, this proved to be a case of polymyositis with mildly elevated creatine kinase (which is usually not the case), atypical skin manifestations (usually there is no skin involvement), and negative extended myositis specific antibody panel with the growth of
