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

Anti-synthetase syndrome is a subset of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, for which refractory disease can be difficult to treat. Daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody primarily used in hematologic malignancies, has recently shown promise in very few case reports of refractory idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. We present a case of a 44-year-old man with anti-Jo1 anti-synthetase syndrome with concurrent anti-Ro52, in which myositis remained refractory to multiple immunosuppressants. Despite treatment with daratumumab, the patient did not respond and ultimately succumbed to infection. This case underscores the need for further research to better define the role of daratumumab in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and identify predictors of treatment response.
