Exploratory clinical subgroup clustering in systemic sclerosis: Results from the Indian Progressive Systemic Sclerosis Registry.
Article in Journal of scleroderma and related disorders, 2024. 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
Objective: To conduct an exploratory cluster analysis of systemic sclerosis patients from the baseline data of the Indian systemic sclerosis registry. Methods: Patients satisfying American College of Rheumatology-European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for systemic sclerosis were included. The clusters formed using clinical and immunological parameters were compared. Results: Of the 564 systemic sclerosis registry participants, 404 patients were included. We derived four clusters of which three were anti-topoisomerase I predominant and one was anti-centromere antibody 2 dominant. Conclusion: With exploratory cluster analysis, we confirmed the possibility of subclassification of systemic sclerosis along a spectrum based on clinical and immunological characteristics. We also corroborated the presence of anti-topoisomerase I in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis and the association of interstitial lung disease with anti-topoisomerase I.
