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

Erasmus syndrome is an uncommon disease brought on by exposure to silica and later manifests as systemic sclerosis (SSc) with or without silicosis. The body of literature on Erasmus syndrome is scarce. Here, we report two cases of male patients presenting with SSc after silica exposure. One of the patients had worked in the steel industry, and another had worked in the sculpture manufacturing for a decade before the presentation. It is imperative to raise awareness of this uncommon illness because avoiding further exposure remains the mainstay of management. Our case reports reemphasize the importance of occupational history in all patients of SSc.
