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

A 52-year-old woman with myalgia, anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, anti-SS-A/Ro52 antibody positivity, and elevated creatine kinase levels was admitted to our hospital. She was diagnosed with Sjögren's disease (SjD) complicated by polymyositis (PM). No chest symptoms were observed. Although her electrocardiogram and echocardiogram findings were normal, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) revealed myocardial edema and fibrosis with late gadolinium enhancement, elevated extracellular volume, and elevated T2 values. After treatment with prednisolone, the myalgia and CMRI abnormalities improved. This case suggests that CMRI may be useful for the detection and treatment of subclinical myocardial damage in patients with SjD complicated by PM.
