Aortic Regurgitation in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis/Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Overlap Syndrome (Rhupus): Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesCardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including valvular heart disease (VHD), remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare case of a woman in her fifth decade of life diagnosed with overlap syndrome (RA and SLE), in whom transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a degenerative altered bicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic regurgitation (AR) and preserved left ventricular systolic function. The patient presented with a recent history of continuous, moderate chest discomfort and progressive exertional dyspnea, along with a mild elevation in highly cardioselective enzymes. AR was confirmed as the cause of her symptoms, rather than acute coronary syndrome or heart failure.
conclusionsThis case highlights the potential contribution of chronic systemic inflammation in RA/SLE to the pathogenesis of AR, an extra-articular manifestation associated with adverse clinical outcomes. These findings support the routine use of echocadiography in rheumatologic patients as a key strategy for early detection and prevention of life-threatening CV complications.
