Successful Treatment with Mycophenolate Mofetil in a Patieint with Anti-MDA 5 Antibody-positive Interstitial Lung Disease and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 59-year-old woman presented with a rash on the top part of her hands and pain in the wrist joint and was diagnosed with dermatomyositis complicated by interstitial pneumonia positive for anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA-5) antibody. However, the patient reported a severe headache following treatment with oral prednisolone and tacrolimus. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) was diagnosed based on the brain magnetic resonance imaging findings. Tacrolimus was discontinued, and mycophenolate mofetil was instead administered with a favorable outcome. Mycophenolate mofetil should therefore be considered as an alternative treatment for anti-MDA-5-positive interstitial lung disease in cases where calcineurin inhibitors cannot be used.
