Nailfold capillaroscopy in myositis: A case series.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Nailfold capillaroscopy is well established in systemic sclerosis; however, abnormalities (scleroderma or scleroderma-like patterns) are identified in other connective tissue diseases, such as myositis, even in the absence of Raynaud's phenomenon. Although this may be known within the rheumatology world, myositis cases often present to other subspecialists who may be unfamiliar with the value of capillaroscopy. We present four cases of myositis that initially presented to non-rheumatology subspecialists where capillaroscopy played a role in confirming the diagnosis. Nailfold capillaroscopy is especially useful in cases of isolated interstitial lung disease, atypical and isolated rashes, and to delineate between myositis mimickers, whether pathologic or clinical. It is a noninvasive tool, which is useful early in the work-up of myositis to identify features consistent with a connective tissue disease.
