Unusual overlap of systemic sclerosis with Takayasu arteritis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Overlap syndromes are diseases that meet the criteria of two or more rheumatic diseases. In this case report, a woman in her 20s presented with a constellation of symptoms, including skin thickening, Raynaud's phenomenon, hypertension, absent pulse in both lower limbs with bilateral renal artery bruit. The antinuclear antibody profile revealed Scl-70 positivity. CT thorax identified early interstitial lung disease, and nailfold capillaroscopy showed severe capillary loss. CT angiogram features were suggestive of Takayasu arteritis. Notably, there have been only four documented cases of systemic sclerosis coexisting with Takayasu arteritis, highlighting the rarity of this overlap syndrome. The diagnosis of overlap syndrome was made after a thorough history recording and clinical examination. In the presence of bilateral renal artery stenosis, managing the scleroderma renal crisis may be challenging . This patient received treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and oral corticosteroids, aiming to address both systemic sclerosis and Takayasu arteritis effectively.
