The Potential Effects of Diffuse Scleroderma in a Patient With Cervical Kyphosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Scleroderma is a complex autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the connective tissue. Its key pathogenesis comprises vascular abnormalities, autoimmunity, and tissue fibrosis. While the exact etiology of the disease is unclear, patients may exhibit a wide array of symptoms. Scleroderma can rarely induce systemic effects that alter normal cervical spine anatomy. The effects on the cervical spine may be mediated through autoimmune phenomena or dystrophic calcinosis along the vertebral column. We discuss a rare case involving a 60-year-old female with a four-month history of scleroderma, who presented with cervical kyphosis, neck pain, impaired ambulation, dysphagia, edema, and reduced range of motion.
