Review in Reumatologia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 connective tissue disease characterised by extremely high heterogeneity. This heterogeneity concerns the organ involvement, course of disease and prognosis. Unlike in some other systemic connective tissue diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus, in SSc haematological disorders occur rarely. When they develop, they affect erythrocytes, leucocytes and platelets. The most common cause of this pathology of erythrocyte abnormalities is microcytic anaemia resulting from micro-haemorrhages with telangiectasias within the digestive mucosa in patients with SSc. In SSc patients with severe haematological disturbances, the differential diagnosis should include overlapping with another systemic connective tissue disease or a haemato-oncological disease (lympho/myeloproliferative syndrome). In SSc patients with monoclonal proteins or cryoglobulins, it is essential to consider a haemato-oncological disease. In such cases, the differential diagnosis should be focused on a paraneoplastic syndrome, especially when the haematological symptoms develop shortly after the diagnosis of SSc and in the elderly.
