Recurrence of Statin-Induced Necrotizing Myopathy: A Learning Point.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Statin-induced myopathy remains a significant adverse event associated with statin use. Insufficient literature exists studying the recurrence of statin-induced myopathy in patients who have been re-exposed to statins. In this case report, we present the case of an elderly woman who developed immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy secondary to simvastatin and eventually improved with statin cessation and corticosteroids. Two years after her initial presentation, she re-developed myopathy when she was prescribed atorvastatin in the community. This case highlights the importance of recognizing that statin-induced myopathy is likely a class effect and being wary of re-prescribing statins in this vulnerable population group.
