Perceived Cognitive Function in People With Systemic Sclerosis: Associations With Symptoms and Daily Life Functioning.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2023. 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
objectivePerceived cognitive dysfunction is prevalent in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) but not well understood. This study aimed to examine potential factors associated with perceived cognitive function and to investigate the contributions of perceived cognitive function and symptoms to functional measures.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients with SSc (n = 106). Participants were mainly female (84%) and White (82%). Perceived cognitive function, symptoms, and functional measures were assessed with Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures. A multivariable regression was conducted to identify factors associated with perceived cognition. Hierarchical linear regressions examined the unique contributions of perceived cognitive function and symptoms to social participation and physical function.
resultsFifty-nine (56%) patients with SSc perceived mild-to-severe cognitive dysfunction. Being on work disability and having more fatigue were both significantly associated with perceived cognitive dysfunction. When examining the contributions of cognition and other symptoms to functional measures, self-reported cognition became nonsignificant after fatigue and pain were entered into the regression model.
conclusionBeing on work disability and having more fatigue were most highly associated with perceived cognitive dysfunction in patients with SSc. Unlike fatigue and pain, perceived cognitive function was not independently associated with functional measures. Nonetheless, future research should disentangle cognitive function and other symptoms, as well as their effects on daily activities, in SSc.
