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

Dermatomyositis is a rare, autoimmune systemic disorder of unknown aetiology that presents as a constellation of clinical symptoms and signs primarily affecting skin and muscles. Patients with dermatomyositis can present with rare "non-canonical" manifestations. Focal or generalised oedema is an infrequent and often overlooked symptom of the disease, while spontaneous intramuscular haemorrhage is an even rarer and under-recognised, life-threatening complication that constitutes a medical emergency for clinical physicians. There are no known predisposing factors able to predict which patients will develop this complication and specific instructions considering treatment approach are currently lacking. Herein, we present a case of a patient with dermatomyositis complicated by both anasarca and spontaneous intramuscular haemorrhage. In order to raise awareness and timely diagnosis of such patients, we provide a review of the relevant literature and of the cases reported this far.
