A case of suspected Sjögren's disease-associated pleuritis in a very elderly patient.

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
A 90-year-old woman presented with an antibiotic-resistant fever and right-sided pleural effusion. Pleural fluid analysis revealed exudative effusion without identifiable pathogens. Sjögren's disease (SjD) was diagnosed based on anti-SS-A/SS-B antibody positivity and labial salivary gland biopsy findings. Pleural effusion was suspected to be associated with SjD, although a definitive causal relationship could not be established. The timing of SjD onset remained uncertain; however, pleural effusion as the initial manifestation is rare. This represents the oldest reported case in which SjD-associated pleuritis is suspected and is extremely rare in individuals aged ≥90 years.
