Unraveling Shulman's syndrome: A rare case of eosinophilic fasciitis in a pediatric patient with fascial abnormalities on MRI.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with a 2-month history of severe fatigue and rapidly worsening myalgia. Biological tests revealed hypereosinophilia and an inflammatory syndrome. MRI showed increased signal intensity in the superficial and deep aponeurotic layers on T2-weighted images, with moderate fascia enhancement after contrast administration. A muscle biopsy of the arm was performed, revealing an accumulation of eosinophils in the muscle aponeuroses. Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by inflammation of the fascia, leading to skin thickening and limb pain. While it predominantly affects adults, pediatric cases are rare, making diagnosis challenging due to its overlap with other fibrotic diseases.
