Epidemiology of myositis.
Review in Current opinion in rheumatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewThis review aims to synthesize recent developments in the epidemiology of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), focusing on incidence, prevalence, disease classification, and clinical outcomes. RECENT
findingsIIM is a rare group of autoimmune diseases characterized by muscle weakness and systemic involvement, with incidence rates ranging from 0.2 to 2 cases per 100 000 person-years. The role of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) in stratifying disease risk and prognosis is increasingly recognized, such as in anti-MDA5 positive DM, which is associated with a high risk of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease. Furthermore, patients with IIM exhibit elevated risks of comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease and malignancy. SUMMARY: IIM diseases are complex disorders with significant health impacts, necessitating enhanced awareness and research. Improved classification and understanding of MSAs are crucial for earlier diagnosis and tailored therapeutic strategies. Continued epidemiological research is essential to elucidate underlying mechanisms and inform future interventions, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of life and clinical outcomes for affected patients.
