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

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. In pregnancy, it can lead to maternal and fetal complications. However, diagnosis in pregnancy is challenging since the disease mimics many features associated with other disorders and some complications related to pregnancy. Here we report a 24-year-old woman at 26 weeks gestation who presented with a fever of unknown origin. She developed tachycardia, nausea, fatigue, rigors, and pancytopenia. Once sepsis and other chronic conditions were ruled out, rheumatology was consulted. Following the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, a combination of hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, and corticosteroids was started, and the patient showed rapid improvement. She had an uncomplicated delivery at term. This case report highlights a unique presentation of new-onset systemic lupus erythematous in pregnancy. Delay in diagnosis can lead to maternal and fetal complications; however, prompt diagnosis and treatment can improve symptoms and lead to a favorable pregnancy outcome.
