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

Dermatomyositis is an immune-mediated inflammatory myopathy characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness with sparing of distal muscles, accompanied by cutaneous manifestations. Laryngeal involvement in patients with dermatomyositis is extremely rare, with only seven cases described in the literature. We report the case of a 21-year-old man with dermatomyositis who presented with dysphonia, breathiness, and asthenia with a voice handicap index-10 score of 24/40. Laryngeal examination showed whitish mucosal patches on the upper surface of both vocal folds with bowing of the vocal folds. Video-stroboscopy revealed incomplete closure of the vocal folds during phonation, a decrease in vocal fold vibration amplitude, and diminished mucosal waves. One month after therapy with mycophenolate mofetil, the patient's voice quality improved and his VHI-10 score decreased to 16/40.
