Juvenile Dermatomyositis Triggered by Influenza B: A Case Report on Viral-Induced Autoimmunity.
Article in Pediatric dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A previously healthy 13-year-old boy developed juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) shortly after a confirmed influenza B infection, presenting with progressive proximal muscle weakness and classic cutaneous findings. Laboratory tests revealed elevated muscle enzymes and myositis-specific autoantibodies, supporting the diagnosis. The temporal association suggests a potential post-viral autoimmune trigger, highlighting influenza B as a possible environmental factor in JDM pathogenesis. This case reinforces the need for heightened clinical awareness and further research into virus-associated autoimmune mechanisms in pediatric myopathies.
