Concurrent Lupus Nephritis and Lupus Carditis in a Young Woman With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report With an Incidental Arachnoid Cyst.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder with highly variable clinical presentations. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with fever, polyarthritis, rash, and renal and cardiac involvement. Laboratory and immunological investigations confirmed SLE with Class IV lupus nephritis and lupus carditis, while brain imaging incidentally revealed an arachnoid cyst. The patient received high-dose corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, and hydroxychloroquine, resulting in marked clinical and laboratory improvement, with the stabilization of renal function and the resolution of cardiac inflammation. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of severe multi-organ involvement in SLE, the application of standardized diagnostic criteria, and the benefits of a multidisciplinary treatment approach. It also emphasizes the need for careful interpretation of incidental findings to avoid misattribution, providing valuable teaching points for clinicians managing complex autoimmune disease presentations.
