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

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy, fibrosis and immune system activation. Pulmonary hypertension and interstitial lung disease account for majority of SSc-related deaths. Diagnosis of SSc-PAH can be challenging due to nonspecific clinical presentation which can lead to delayed diagnosis. Many screening algorithms have been developed to detect SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH) in early stages. Currently used PAH-specific medications are largely extrapolated from IPAH studies due to smaller number of patients with SSc-PAH. In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge in epidemiology and risk factors for development of SSc-PAH, and challenges and potential solutions in the diagnosis, screening and management of SSc-PAH.
