1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Systemic sclerosis (SSc), or scleroderma, is a rare, complex, systemic autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology, characterized by high morbidity and mortality often resulting from cardiopulmonary complications such as interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Despite substantial progress in unravelling the pathways involved in the pathogenesis of SSc and the increasing number of therapeutic targets tested in clinical trials, there is still no cure for this disease, although several proposed treatments might limit the involvement of specific organs, thereby slowing the natural history of the disease. A specific focus of recent research has been to address the plethora of unmet needs regarding the global management of SSc-related interstitial lung disease, including its pathogenesis, early diagnosis, risk stratification of patients, appropriate treatment regimens and monitoring of treatment response, as well as the definition of progression and predictors of progression and mortality. More refined stratification of patients on the basis of clinical features, molecular signatures, identification of subpopulations with distinct clinical trajectories and implementation of outcome measures for future clinical trials could also improve therapeutic management strategies, helping to avoid poor outcomes related to lung involvement.
