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

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a group of heterogeneous diseases that can affect multiple systems. Currently, it is classified into different subtypes based on myositis-specific antibodies and muscle tissue pathology. These subtypes vary in treatment response and clinical prognosis, with poor treatment outcomes observed in cases of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease and severe muscle involvement. Despite conventional treatments, there remains a high rate of mortality and disability. The production of B cells and autoantibodies plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of IIM. Targeting B cells has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy for IIM. This review aims to summarize the current state of B cell-targeted therapies for IIM, providing clinicians with potential treatment options.
