Angioedema as a Presenting Feature in a Patient With SLE: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-organ autoimmune disease that can be easily missed due to its variable presentation. Acquired angioedema (AAE) is a rare first presentation of SLE. We report a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with rapidly progressive swelling of the tongue and neck, followed by respiratory discomfort and a generalized non-itchy rash. A tracheostomy was performed to relieve her symptoms. Her history, examination, and relevant investigations all indicated SLE. She was treated with high-dose steroids, and pulse therapy with methylprednisolone was given for three days. Hydroxychloroquine was added, but she developed sepsis and an acute flare of SLE secondary to tracheostomy site infection. Subsequently, she was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics, followed by a tapering dose of steroids and a maintenance dose of azathioprine. She responded to treatment, tracheostomy reversal was performed, and the patient was discharged.
