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

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory involvement of the skin and muscles, often associated with malignancy, particularly in the presence of anti-transcription intermediary factor 1 gamma (TIF-1γ) antibodies. This case report describes a 57-year-old Senegalese man with anti-TIF-1γ-positive DM and colorectal adenocarcinoma with liver metastases, presenting with severe dermatological symptoms such as ulcerations, the "red on white" sign, and scalp pustulosis, as well as systemic features including dysphagia and muscle weakness. Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical evaluation, serological testing, and histopathology. Treatment with corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and surgical tumor resection led to significant improvement. This case underscores the importance of recognizing DM's dermatological signs, conducting thorough malignancy screening, and implementing a multidisciplinary approach for effective management and improved outcomes, given the rarity of the association with colorectal cancer.
