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 connective tissue disorder with dermatological and extracutaneous manifestations. Multiple treatment modalities have been used to treat dermatomyositis, and there have been cases with resistant disease refractory to conventional therapies. Corticosteroids are usually used to achieve remission, and from then, steroid-sparing agents such as azathioprine are used to maintain remission. However, in this report, we present a case of dermatomyositis with refractory cutaneous manifestation. The patient's muscular pain had subsided with the use of corticosteroids, but the dermatological lesions did not respond to multiple treatment modalities, responding only to intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG).
