Lupus pneumonitis in neonatal lupus: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundNeonatal lupus is a rare autoimmune condition caused by the transplacental passage of maternal autoantibodies, most commonly from mothers with systemic lupus erythematosus. While cutaneous and cardiac involvement are well recognized, respiratory manifestations-particularly acute lupus pneumonitis-are extremely rare, with very few documented cases in neonates. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a preterm neonate of Middle Eastern ethnicity born at 34 weeks gestation to a mother with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with erythematous skin lesions and progressive respiratory distress. The initial suspicion was neonatal sepsis, but further imaging revealed bilateral ground-glass opacities suggestive of pneumonitis. The diagnosis of acute lupus pneumonitis was considered. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids, resulting in significant clinical improvement.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of considering acute lupus pneumonitis in neonates with unexplained respiratory failure, especially when maternal autoimmune disease is present. Early recognition and immunosuppressive therapy can lead to favorable outcomes.
