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

We report two patients with scleromyositis with anti-RuvBL1/2 antibodies, recently identified rare autoantibodies associated with older age at onset, diffuse sclerodactyly, skeletal and cardiac myositis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Both patients showed sclerodactyly and skeletal myositis. Muscle biopsy revealed lymphocytes and macrophage infiltration in an 83-year-old woman with cardiac involvement and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy in a 68-year-old woman with ILD, guiding diagnosis and treatment decisions. Glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants led to clinical improvement. These cases highlight the clinical and pathologic spectrum of anti-RuvBL1/2 antibody-associated disease and the value of antibody detection and tissue analysis.
