Rosacea overlapping the malar rash: A diagnostic challenge in early systemic lupus erythematosus.

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 chronic autoimmune disease with heterogeneous manifestations, often overlapping with other conditions and complicating diagnosis. Oral lesions, though less common than cutaneous involvement, may offer important diagnostic clues. We report a 51-year-old female with rosacea, who developed persistent oral ulcers initially linked to a dental prosthesis. Lesions worsened despite adjustments and corticosteroid therapy, and the first biopsy was inconclusive. A second biopsy showed features of lupus erythematosus, including basal layer degeneration, subepithelial lymphocytic infiltrate, and PAS-positive basement membrane thickening. Serology revealed low-titter ANA (1:160) without additional autoantibodies. The coexistence of rosacea and lupus-like lesions delayed diagnosis, highlighting the need for clinicopathological correlation. Over 2 years of multidisciplinary follow-up, the patient achieved remission of oral and cutaneous lesions despite persistently low ANA titters. This case underscores the diagnostic complexity of overlapping dermatologic conditions and reinforces the importance of interdisciplinary management and long-term follow-up in suspected SLE.
