Post-COVID-19 Inflammatory Myopathy With Dermatomyositis-Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) Overlap Features and Epiglottitis: A Case Report.
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
Autoimmune inflammatory myopathies can emerge after viral illnesses and may present with a wide range of neuromuscular and systemic symptoms. Post-viral immune dysregulation may unmask or trigger overlap syndromes characterized by muscle inflammation, dysphagia, airway involvement, and broader immune activation. This report describes a case of inflammatory myopathy with dermatomyositis and mixed connective tissue disease-associated antibodies occurring after a recent COVID-19 infection, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and severity of presentation. The case underscores the importance of recognizing post-COVID autoimmune complications and initiating timely immunosuppressive therapy to reduce long-term morbidity.
