1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR) immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a subtype of autoimmune necrotizing myopathy that presents with progressive proximal weakness and persistent creatine kinase (CK) elevation, which may continue despite statin discontinuation. Its relationship with hematologic malignancy is not well established. A 67-year-old woman developed markedly elevated CK levels after starting high-intensity statin. Despite statin withdrawal, CK levels remain persistently elevated, accompanied by progressive symmetrical proximal weakness. Anti-HMGCR IgG was strongly positive, while other autoimmune serologies were unrevealing. A diagnosis of statin-associated anti-HMGCR IMNM was established, and treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and intravenous immunoglobulin resulted in partial biochemical improvement. Five weeks after initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, routine laboratory testing showed rapidly rising leukocytosis. Further evaluation revealed mantle cell lymphoma with bone marrow involvement, IGH::CCND1 rearrangement, and
