Localized ST Elevations and PR Depressions in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Pericarditis: An Unusual Case Presentation.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 frequent cardiac involvement. A 49-year-old male with a 20-year history of SLE presented with a rash and lip swelling concerning for angioedema versus anaphylaxis. During bedside rounds, point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) revealed a small posterior pericardial effusion, prompting a formal transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). He subsequently developed acute substernal chest pain with ECG findings of isolated ST elevations and PR depressions, in the inferior leads (II, III, and aVF). Despite concerns for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the team was reassured by POCUS, TTE, and negative troponins. He was diagnosed with SLE-associated pericarditis and treated with NSAIDs, steroids, hydroxychloroquine, and methotrexate. This case highlights the importance of utilizing POCUS and physical examination skills to differentiate SLE-associated pericarditis from ACS, particularly when ECG findings present in a localized, non-diffuse pattern.
