Anti-PL-12 and Interstitial Lung Disease as the First Signs of Antisynthetase Syndrome in Patients With Previously Diagnosed Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Cureus, 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
Antisynthetase syndrome (ASTS) is an infrequent autoimmune condition marked by chronic inflammation and the presence of autoantibodies targeting aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Clinically, it often manifests through a constellation of features, including inflammatory arthritis, myositis, Raynaud's phenomenon, hyperkeratotic skin changes (mechanic's hands), and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Among these, ILD is the most significant in terms of prognosis, as it contributes to elevated rates of morbidity and mortality, surpassing those seen in other idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. We report the clinical course of a 56-year-old woman with a prior diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) established in 2019, based on the 2017 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria. She was admitted to the Institute for Pulmonary Diseases of Vojvodina (IPBV) in Sremska Kamenica, Serbia, due to respiratory symptoms suggestive of ILD. Although ILD is an uncommon manifestation in SLE, the patient was assessed for the potential coexistence of other connective tissue diseases, such as systemic sclerosis (SSc) and inflammatory myopathies. Laboratory testing demonstrated a strong antinuclear antibody (ANA) reactivity on Hep-2 cells and low anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) levels (<10 IU/ml). Extended myositis panel testing revealed marked positivity for anti-PL-12 and anti-Ro-52 antibodies. Given the presence of pre-existing ILD and clinical signs of arthritis and proximal muscle weakness, alongside the identification of anti-tRNA synthetases antibodies, a diagnosis of ASTS was established. Immunosuppressive treatment was intensified by increasing the glucocorticoid (GC) dosage and introducing intravenous cyclophosphamide (CYC, 1 g). The patient demonstrated a favorable clinical and biochemical response to this regimen.
