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

Anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) myopathy has recently been regarded as immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM). Anti-SRP myopathy primarily presents with muscle symptoms, but it can also involve extramuscular symptoms, among which cardiac disease can be fatal. Despite its potentially severe course, anti-SRP myopathy often resists conventional immunosuppressive therapy. A 72-year-old woman diagnosed with anti-SRP myopathy developed cardiomyopathy and pericardial effusion. The disease could not be controlled with prednisolone (PSL) and tacrolimus (TAC), but an improvement was achieved with intensified therapy using intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Early intensification of IVIG may therefore improve the patient prognosis.
