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
introductionSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterized by a clear female predominance and a major clinical polymorphism. Some initial presentations, particularly in children and adolescents are exceptional. Our objective was to report an unusual initial presentation of SLE in a male adolescent. OBSERVATION: We reported the case of a 16-year- old tunisian boy who was referred to the hematology emergency department because of a hemorrhagic syndrome. The evolution was marked by pancytopenia, prolonged fever and an anasarca with recurrent cardiac tamponade. Explorations concluded to SLE. The patient was started on pulse therapy of dexamethasone followed by immunoglobulin. He was also provided with pericardiocentesis with a favorable outcome.
conclusionSLE is characterized by clinical polymorphism, that's why diagnosis and management of complications could be difficult. SLE should be considered in differential diagnosis of many disorders, such as pancytopenia and cardiac tamponade.
