Prevalence of and factors independently associated with digital ischemic complications in patients with systemic sclerosis.

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
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of and independent predictors for digital ischemic complications in patients with systemic sclerosis. Method: Patients enrolled in the Siriraj Systemic Sclerosis Cohort registry during 2013-2019 were classified as having or not having digital ischemic complications at the baseline and 1-year timepoints. Results: A total of 171 patients with systemic sclerosis were included. The prevalence of digital pulp loss, digital pitting scar, digital ulcer, and digital amputation at baseline and 1 year was 41.5%, 39.8%, 3.5%, 7.6% and 37.4%, 43.9%, 14.1%, 6.4%, respectively. Over half (58.5%) of overall systemic sclerosis had developed new digital ischemic complications during the 1-year follow-up. Those with digital ischemic complications at baseline were at high risk for developing new digital ischemic complications (odds ratio: 15.9). Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis is associated with digital ischemic complications (odds ratio: 6.0), digital pitting scar (odds ratio: 4.9), and digital pulp loss (odds ratio: 6.4). Tendon friction rub is associated with digital pitting scar (odds ratio: 5.0). Salt-and-pepper skin appearance is associated with digital pulp loss (odds ratio: 3.0) and digital ulcer (odds ratio: 6.9). Disease duration Conclusion: Digital pulp loss, digital pitting scar, digital ulcer, and digital amputation were common manifestations of digital ischemic complications, and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis was the strongest of the six independent predictors.
