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

The importance of the genetic component in the pathogenesis of scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, has been strengthened in the past 2 years with studies on genetic markers-either candidate gene or genome-wide association studies--in large case-control series. Multiple genes have been consistently associated with susceptibility to scleroderma, and interestingly, several of them are involved in immune regulation. Because many of these genes are shared with other autoimmune diseases, a common underlying autoimmune mechanism has been proposed. The challenge that lies ahead is to confirm these associations and to find markers or pathways that are unique to scleroderma and that may define its distinctive phenotype.
