Newly Diagnosed Sjogren Syndrome in an Elderly Patient on Dialysis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the exocrine glands, causing dry eyes and mouth, but also presents with a variety of other symptoms. SS is a common connective tissue disease but it can be difficult to diagnose due to the non-specific symptoms and lack of diagnostic markers in many cases. This report describes a case of an elderly patient on dialysis with newly diagnosed SS. The patient had been unable to eat a normal diet for a year, but treatment had not been initiated, presumably because of his age and the fact that he was on dialysis. The patient's symptoms improved with the administration of glucocorticoids. This is a very educational case for physicians to recognize undiagnosed SS patients presenting with non-specific symptoms.
