Scleroderma renal crisis following Covid-19 infection.
Article in Journal of scleroderma and related disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease in which environmental exposure to substances and agents may trigger disease onset or exacerbation. The most fatal complication of SSc is scleroderma renal crisis (SRC), the incidence of which is 2-3%. SRC usually occurs in the first 5 years from disease onset in diffuse-SSc patients with anti-topoisomerase 1 (ATA) or RNA polymerase 3 antibodies [1]. Other risk factors for SRC are pericardial effusion, tendon friction rub and steroid use. We report herein a case of scleroderma renal crisis (SRC), following covid-19 infection, in a limited-SSc patient who was in long remission prior to the infection without any risk factors for SRC. the temporal relationship and lack of other risk factors combine to suggest covid-19 infection as a possible trigger for SRC. We discuss the shared pathophysiology of covid-19 infection and SRC, including, vasculopathy, endothelial activation, hypercoagulability, cytokines release as interleukin 6, that may explain the possible role of covid-19 infection, as a trigger for SRC in SSc patients.
