1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The co-occurrence of autoimmune diseases has been epidemiologically studied and has contributed to our understanding of autoimmunity. The underlying mechanisms of this syndrome remain elusive; however, its prevalence may be higher than currently documented. The co-occurrence of at least 3 autoimmune diseases in a single patient has been defined as multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS). This syndrome can be classified into 3 categories based on the prevalence of their associations with one another: type 1, type 2, and type 3. Myocarditis is classified as type 3, and typically does not present with connective tissue involvement. This report presents the case of a young female with known autoimmune disorders: rheumatoid arthritis (RA)and secondary Sjögren's syndrome (GSJ). The patient presented with MRI-confirmed myocarditis, likely of autoimmune origin, combining the 3 conditions in an atypical presentation. An additional noteworthy aspect of this case is the uncommon occurrence of myocarditis in rheumatoid arthritis, and even more so in Sjögren's syndromes.
