Isotretinoin-Associated Myopathy With Normal Creatine Kinase (CK) Levels: EMG-Based Diagnosis at Low Dose-A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Isotretinoin can cause toxic myopathy even at low doses with normal CK levels; proximal muscle weakness may be the only sign. EMG is essential for diagnosis, emphasizing the need for clinical vigilance and personalized assessment in patients with unexplained muscle symptoms on isotretinoin.
