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

Although scleroderma is generally considered a fibrosing disease of the tissues, it is now recognized that the underlying vascular disease is playing a fundamental role in its pathogenesis and associated tissue injury. The exact mechanism for the widespread scleroderma vascular disease is still unknown, but endothelial cell injury induced by infection, immune-mediated cytotoxicity, antiendothelial antibodies, and/or ischemia-reperfusion have all been implicated. The downstream effects of blood vessel perturbation produce "biomarkers" of vascular damage that reflect disease and may predict clinical outcomes. A complex interaction between endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, extracellular matrix, and intravascular circulating factors is now recognized to contribute to the vascular reactivity, remodeling, and occlusive disease of scleroderma. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these processes provides rationale of novel therapeutic strategies and specific targeted therapy. This review will outline some of the evidence for the causes and consequences of scleroderma vascular disease.
