Obturator neuropathy from SLE lymphadenopathy: an interdisciplinary diagnostic challenge.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2026. 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
objectiveTo describe an unusual cause of thigh myopathy and nerve compression in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), illustrating the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman with a 10-year history of SLE presented with new-onset right thigh pain and restricted hip movement. Knee pathology was excluded, and symptoms were initially attributed to hydroxychloroquine treatment. Despite conservative management, pain worsened. MRI revealed multifocal myositis in the gluteal and adductor regions with signal changes in the sciatic nerve and enlarged groin lymph nodes. Repeated histopathological, neurological, and radiological examinations remained inconclusive until a pelvic MRI showed bilateral lymphadenopathy along the lumbar plexus, compressing the obturator nerve.
resultsTreatment with high-dose prednisolone led to rapid clinical improvement with resolution of pain and restoration of hip mobility, accompanied by radiological resolution of muscular and nodal changes.
conclusionThis case demonstrates an uncommon manifestation of active SLE with pelvic lymphadenopathy causing obturator nerve compression and secondary thigh myopathy. Early interdisciplinary evaluation was essential for diagnosis and management in this complex autoimmune presentation.
