Mimickers of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Case Series and Literature Overview.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a broad and varied clinical presentation. In the absence of definite diagnostic criteria, establishing an SLE diagnosis remains challenging. This case series illustrates that other diseases, such as primary immunodeficiencies and monogenic interferonopathies, can closely mimic SLE, even in the presence of its typical serological markers. Recognizing these disease mimickers is crucial to avoid premature conclusions in clinical evaluation and to ensure the initiation of appropriate therapy. Especially in cases of atypical presentation, unusual disease progression, or resistance to standard therapy, alternative diagnoses should be considered. In this overview, we discuss the diagnostic approach for patients with SLE-like manifestations and provide a comprehensive review of diseases that may mimic SLE.
