Endothelial Dysfunction in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: Correlation with Serum Biomarkers of Disease Activity.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
To assess the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and serum cytokines, anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies, beta-2 microglobulin levels, focus score and EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients. The study included 90 patients with pSS and 45 healthy subjects, matched for age and gender, as controls. Serum beta-2 microglobulin, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, TNF-α, and IL-6 were analyzed in both the groups. Patients with pSS were also tested for antinuclear antibodies, anti-SAA (anti-Sjögren's syndrome-related antigen A) antibodies, anti-SSB (anti-Sjögren syndrome related antigen B) antibodies, and focus score (the histopathologic one, based on minor salivary gland biopsy). Endothelial dysfunction was assessed by means of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the brachial artery. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed using the
