Meta-analysis of mortality-associated factors in primary Sjögren's syndrome patients with interstitial lung disease.
Synthesis in Clinical rheumatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The study aims to conduct a meta-analysis on 5-year survival rate and mortality-related factors in the patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome concomitant with interstitial lung disease (pSS-ILD). Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we searched various platforms and databases until November 22, 2023. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for quality assessment and extracted study characteristics and effect sizes. The pooled 5-year survival rate, hazard ratios (HRs), and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were then calculated. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Patients with pSS-ILD. Mortality in patients with pSS-ILD. Out of 188 articles, seven met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis estimated a 5-year survival rate of 82% (73%-91%). Mortality-related factors estimated by the meta-analysis included older age (HRs = 1.06, 95% CI 1.03-1.09, P < 0.0001), history of smoking (HRs = 3.44, 95% CI 2.14-5.53, P < 0.00001), anti-SSA antibody positivity (HRs = 0.41, 95% CI 0.20-0.85, P = 0.02), anti-SSB antibody positivity (HRs = 0.42, 95% CI 0.18-0.98, P = 0.04), reduced forced vital capacity (FVC; HRs = 0.96, 95% CI 0.95-0.98, P < 0.0001), reduced 6-min walk distance (6MWD; HRs = 0.99, 95% CI 0.99-1.00, P = 0.0008), presence of a reticular abnormality (HRs = 3.03, 95% CI 1.54-5.95, P = 0.001), and decreased arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO
