A case report of clubbing as the initial sign of systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma: A rare possible presentation.
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
Key Clinical Message: Even in the absence of characteristic cutaneous symptoms of scleroderma, systemic sclerosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients initially diagnosed with idiopathic interstitial lung disease. Abstract: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an idiopathic connective tissue disorder characterized by multisystem involvement. Although skin thickening is a hallmark manifestation of SSc, a subset known as systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma (ssSSc) presents with internal organ involvement and positive serologic markers in the absence of significant cutaneous manifestations. We report the case of a 36-year-old Iranian woman who presented with clubbing as an initial symptom of ssSSc. Notably, clubbing as the sole initial sign of the disease has not been previously reported. Timely diagnosis of ssSSc is crucial to facilitate appropriate treatment and prevent disease progression. Physicians should adopt a comprehensive approach when evaluating patients presenting with limited clinical features, as they might be indicative of underlying ssSSc.
