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 Erasmus syndrome describes the association of generalised systemic sclerosis following exposure to silica with or without silicosis. This is a case report on a male patient presenting with this syndrome. Radiological changes of silicosis have preceded the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis by 6 years and occupational exposure has been stopped. The clinical features did not differ from systemic sclerosis in general. The evolution was marked by a progression of skin lesions whereas pulmonary lesion remained stable.
