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

Acute pericarditis is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute inflammation of the pericardium, which may result from various infectious or non-infectious etiologies. The characteristic clinical manifestations primarily encompass chest pain, classic electrocardiographic changes, and new or worsening pericardial effusion. Acute pericarditis may manifest independently or as a component of systemic disease. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-associated pericarditis typically occurs during active disease phase. Ovarian stimulation promotes ovulation and alters sex hormone levels, potentially triggering or exacerbating SLE. We report a 34-year-old woman with stable SLE who developed a disease flare, predominantly manifesting as acute pericarditis, following ovarian stimulation. Significant clinical improvement was observed following treatment with glucocorticoids, colchicine, and immunosuppressive agents. A literature review identified eight additional cases of SLE flares following ovarian stimulation, presenting with arthritis, rash, pericarditis, nephritis, or thrombotic events. Consequently, a comprehensive recurrence risk assessment and close monitoring of disease activity are recommended for SLE patients undergoing this fertility treatment.
