A Case of Juvenile Dermatomyositis Presenting with Inverse Gottron's Papules: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Inverse Gottron's papules are an uncommon presentation of dermatomyositis, with a paucity of studies published in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Case Presentation: A 5-year-old girl presented with progressive bilateral eyelid erythema and edema, mild erythematous rash over the face, painful palmar papules (inverse Gottron's papules), and proximal muscle weakness for 3 months. Additional symptoms included intermittent fever, decreased appetite, joint pain, and mild abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed upper and lower eyelid erythema with mild edema (heliotrope sign), Gottron's papules over the dorsal distal interphalangeal joint (DIP), Gottron's sign over the dorsal metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints and elbows, inverse Gottron's sign over the palmar surface of the hands (PIP and DIP), and ragged nailfold cuticles with no dilated capillaries. Laboratory investigations showed elevated muscle enzymes, positive myositis-specific antibodies, and elevated liver function tests. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest revealed no signs of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral upper limb subcutaneous edema and generalized myositis, particularly in the pelvis and thigh muscles, confirming the diagnosis of JDM. Treatment involved intravenous methylprednisolone 30 mg/kg/day for 3 days followed by tapering, and topical corticosteroids over dermatomyositis-affected areas. Conclusion: Inverse Gottron's papules are an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of dermatomyositis (DM) that have an association with ILD in both adults and children. Thus, patients with dermatomyositis and inverse Gottron's papules should be investigated for ILD. Our patient represents the first reported case of JDM with inverse Gottron's papules in Saudi Arabia.
