Imaging features of juvenile dermatomyositis complicated by pyomyositis in a 12-year-old boy: A case report.
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
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the skin and skeletal muscles, often complicated by systemic manifestations and secondary infections. This case report describes a 12-year-old boy with a history of JDM who developed pyomyositis, a rare bacterial infection of skeletal muscles, following immunosuppressive therapy with methotrexate and low-dose steroids. The patient presented with fever, swelling, and tenderness in the left leg, with imaging confirming abscess formation. A multidisciplinary approach was employed for management, including surgical drainage and targeted antibiotic therapy. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing pyomyositis in JDM, emphasizing the increased infection risk associated with immunosuppressive treatments and the importance of early intervention to prevent complications.
