Severe Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Associated With Hydroxychloroquine in a Young Woman With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The use of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine is a standard treatment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. It helps reduce disease-associated damage, prevents disease flare, and improves overall survival. The mechanism of action of hydroxychloroquine includes interference with lysosomal degradation of cells leading to the accumulation of vacuoles. Retinopathy is a well-described adverse effect of hydroxychloroquine, thus requiring screening with an ophthalmologist after prolonged use. Although rarely reported, cardiac adverse effects of hydroxychloroquine can also occur. In this report, we present a case of a 23-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus on hydroxychloroquine who presented with stroke possibly due to Libman-Sacks endocarditis and was found to have severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on transthoracic echocardiogram.
