Possible anti-metastatic effect of iloprost in a patient with systemic sclerosis with lung cancer: a case study.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2012. 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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology which affects the vascular system and connective tissue. A wide series of studies showed an increased prevalence of cancer in patients with SSc than the normal population. Prostacyclin (PGI2) is an endogenously produced element that is basically synthesized by arachiodonic acid through prostacyclin synthesis in vascular system endothelial cells. Iloprost is a stable analogue of PGI2 which is used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In a limited number of animal models, the anti-metastatic activity of PGI2 is observed. Herein, we report iloprost treatment of a 60-year-old-woman with SSc, who lately developed PAH as a complication of her disease and lung adenocarcinoma as a co-incidence simultaneously. These two mortal complications were both treated successfully with inhaled iloprost until her death due to gastrointestinal complications of SSc.
