"I Can't Lift My Legs": An Interesting Presentation Leading to the Diagnosis of Anti-synthetase Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 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
Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is an autoimmune disorder that often manifests through lung involvement such as interstitial lung disease, inflammation of the muscles, and symptoms affecting the joints, including pain or arthritis. Identifying ASS involves a multidisciplinary effort between rheumatologists and lung specialists, using a combination of blood work, imaging techniques, and, in some cases, biopsies of muscle or lung tissue to reach a diagnosis. Treatment usually involves corticosteroids along with other immunosuppressive medications. In this case, we explore the diagnostic journey of a 37-year-old patient who initially presented with an unusual complaint: difficulty lifting his leg, alongside a range of other symptoms. This case highlights the complexity and challenges involved in identifying anti-synthetase syndrome.
