Screening for pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis: Now or never!
Review in European journal of rheumatology, 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.
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.
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), a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs and vasculopathy, has a high burden of mortality. One of the major contributors to mortality in patients with SSc is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which affects up to 10% of individuals and results in up to 15 years of life loss. Best practice recommendations are for asymptomatic patients with SSc and SSc-spectrum disorder to be screened annually for the early detection of SSc-PAH. Recently published data from large registries have shown improvements in the long-term outcomes in patients who are diagnosed with SSc-PAH because of systematic annual screening. This review will address the current clinical and research implications of the screening for the early detection of SSc-PAH.
