Interstitial lung disease and associated factors in patients with Sjögren's syndrome.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary manifestation of Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) and associated with an increased risk of death. Early detection and treatment of ILDs and knowing the risk factors are very important for prognosis in rheumatic diseases.
aimsThis study was performed to determine ILD and associated factors in patients with SjS.
methodsFour hundred three SjS patients were evaluated in this cross-sectional cohort study. Clinical, laboratory, serological, and imaging features were compared of patients with and without pulmonary involvement. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for lung involvement and to identify independent risk factors.
resultsThirty-five (8.7%) of SjS patients had ILD and 368 (91.3%) had no ILD. The presence of Raynaud's phenomenon was significantly more common in ILD. The geriatric age group over the age of 65 years (OR 8198; 95% CI 3788-17,742; p < 0.001), Raynaud's phenomenon (OR 17,852; 95% CI 6155-51,779; p < 0.001), and smoking (OR 3598; 95% CI 1495-8657; p = 0.003) were risk factors to be associated for ILD in the multivariable analysis. The most common abnormality was non-specific interstitial pneumonia in 20 patients (57.1%) and usual interstitial pneumonia in 15 (42.9%) patients.
conclusionsThe distribution of male patients compared to female patients was higher in patients with lung involvement than in patients without lung involvement. This may be related to older age, higher smoking rate, and longer nicotine consumption in men. Age, smoking, and severity of lung involvement are more important than inflammation status and autoantibodies for prognosis.
