Erasmus syndrome: A rare case report of silicosis and systemic sclerosis.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
People with silicosis may develop Erasmus syndrome, a condition characterized by the emergence of systemic sclerosis (SSc) after silica exposure. This case study emphasizes the significance of understanding the connection between occupational silica exposure, silicosis, and SSc. A 24-year-old male stonecutter got silicosis and a form of SSc following 8 years on his job as a stonecutter. The signs and symptoms the patient experienced were Raynaud's phenomenon, cutaneous fibrosis, arthralgia, digital pitting, and respiratory distress. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) revealed interstitial lung disease and calcified mediastinal lymph nodes. This case study demonstrates the clinical importance of the relationship between occupational silica exposure, silicosis, SSc, and Erasmus syndrome. Healthcare providers need to be aware of the possible difficulties and issues that may result from silica exposure. They should prioritize quick detection and efficient treatment plans for those who have been exposed to silica while on the job.
