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

Several chronic inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, have been shown to increase coronary artery disease (CAD) risk but the data on systemic sclerosis (SSc) is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that reported odds ratio, relative risk, hazard ratio, or standardized incidence ratio comparing CAD risk in patients with SSc versus non-SSc participants. Pooled risk ratio and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated using a random effect, generic inverse variance method. Four studies were identified and included in our data analysis. The pooled risk ratio of CAD in patients with SSc was 1.82 (95 % CI, 1.40 to 2.36). The statistical heterogeneity of this meta-analysis was moderate with an I (2) of 73 %. Our study demonstrated a statistically significant increased CAD risk among patients with SSc.
