Not all Sicca is Sjögren's and not all Sjögren's is Sicca.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Symptoms of dry eyes or dry mouth, otherwise known as sicca symptoms, are not always present in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Approximately 20% of patients with SS do not have sicca symptoms. An unusual case of a patient presenting with complete left-sided facial hemiparesis, a history of partial bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who was found to have elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) with high titer positive SSA/Ro antibody, evidence of bilateral parotitis on imaging and absence of sicca symptoms, prompted us to perform a literature review. Twelve case reports relating facial nerve palsy and Sjögren's were found and only one described a similar constellation of features of unilateral facial weakness and otalgia. Management of facial nerve palsy related to Sjögren's is unclear but pharmacological agents have included corticosteroids, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), cyclophosphamide, and plasmapheresis. This case report describes a patient whose facial nerve palsy is attributed to SS, explores peripheral and central nervous system involvement in SS, and provides some recommended treatments.
