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

Increasing knowledge about the rare disease systemic sclerosis and improved diagnostic methods in the course of recent decades has led to the possibility of diagnosing systemic sclerosis at earlier disease stages. However, earlier diagnosis has an impact on routine clinical care of affected patients, and rheumatologists need to know about early symptoms, their diagnosis, and clinical management. In this review, the therapeutic management of early disease stages is described. In particular, we focus on diagnostic tools which should be included in a "basic assessment" of systemic sclerosis and discuss the diagnosis and treatment options of early symptoms such as Raynaud phenomenon, puffy fingers and hand edema, digital ulcers, calcinosis cutis, and cardiopulmonary, renal, and gastrointestinal involvement. Finally, the options of early immunosuppressive treatment and autologous stem cell transplantation for patients with rapid progressive and severe disease are reviewed.
