The Multiple Faces of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Pearls and Pitfalls for Diagnosis.
Review in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus is the prototype multisystem autoimmune disorder characterised by a broad spectrum of organ involvement and a multitude of laboratory abnormalities. Clinical heterogeneity, unpredictable course and lack of pathognomonic clinical and serological features pose a considerable challenge in the diagnosis of SLE. The latter remains largely clinical, typically accompanied however by features of serologic autoimmunity, which are characteristic for the disease. Despite significant improvements in treatment strategies, an early diagnosis often continues to be an unmet need, as the median reported delay from symptom onset to SLE diagnosis is approximately 2 years. Classification criteria are usually used to support the diagnosis, yet with significant caveats. In this article, we provide an updated review of the clinical presentation of lupus and give clues for an accurate diagnosis.
