Sjogren's Antibodies and Neonatal Lupus: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of exocrine glands. The disorder predominantly affects middle-aged women. Autoantibodies, including anti-SS-A/Ro and anti-SS-B/La antibodies, are present in most cases of SS. These antibodies can cross the placenta and likely play a role in pregnancy complications as well as the development of neonatal lupus, resulting in congenital heart block (CHB). It is essential to monitor the fetus for CHB during pregnancy. In particular, screening with echocardiography and monitoring heart rate at home are recommended practices. Regarding medical management, hydroxychloroquine and glucocorticoids have shown promise in reducing cardiac manifestations, but further research is needed to elucidate their longer term efficacy and safety. This scoping review analyzes literature from 2001 to 2024, focusing on pregnancy outcomes among women with SS, clinical manifestations of neonatal lupus, the role of anti-SS-A/Ro and anti-SS-B/La antibodies in the development of neonatal lupus and CHB, and emphasizes the need for future research efforts to refine treatment protocols and enhance clinical care strategies for pregnant women with SS.
