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 (SS) is a heterogenous autoimmune disease that manifests itself with skin and internal organ involvement. The association of SS and malignancy is an emerging field of study with limited data in the literature. This report highlights the unique case of a patient with limited cutaneous SS (lcSS) found to have an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. In this report, we review the clinical manifestations, serologic findings, and phenotypes of SS. Furthermore, an evaluation of the risk of pancreatic neoplasms in patients with SS will be discussed, as well as the correlation of cancers among SS phenotypes and auto-antibodies. As part of our research, a PubMed search of the following terms was performed: "systemic sclerosis, scleroderma, limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis, CREST syndrome, Raynaud syndrome, cancer, malignancy, pancreas, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm".
