Association of dermatomyositis and autoimmune hepatitis: A case report.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The association of dermatomyositis (DM) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is rare and presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We describe the case of a 36-year-old man with DM diagnosed in 2012 and treated with corticosteroid and methotrexate. The patient achieved total remission 18 months later. In 2022, an AIH was diagnosed (cytolysis, cholestasis, anti-LC1, and anti-SLA antibodies) while DM was in remission. Liver function normalized after two months of treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids. Liver damage in systemic autoimmune diseases can result from viral, iatrogenic, or autoimmune processes. The association between DM and AIH is exceptional and has only been documented in one previous observation. Autoantibodies are essential for diagnosing and managing patients with inflammatory myopathy and AIH. In conclusion, this exceptional association of AIH and DM raises many questions regarding the presence of etiopathogenic links, such as genetic predisposition, autoimmunity disorders, viral infection triggers, or simply a happenstance.
