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

backgroundRenal involvement is not uncommon in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and presents in various forms, particularly progressing to scleroderma renal crisis (SRC), which is associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, understanding the research trends in this field is critical for advancing clinical management and therapeutic strategies.

methodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection, examining publications related to SSc and renal involvement from January 2000 to November 2024. We analyzed publication trends, key contributors, institutions, and countries.

resultsA total of 1,339 publications were identified in the field of SSc and renal involvement, demonstrating an upward trend in publication volume from 2000 to 2024. These articles have been cited a total of 61,234 times, with the majority of contributions coming from the United States, Italy, and East Asian countries. The University of Michigan and University College London were particularly prominent in terms of both publication volume and collaboration networks. Keyword analysis revealed a shift in research focus, with increasing attention on clinical aspects, pathophysiological mechanisms, and vascular complications.

conclusionsThis study provides a comprehensive overview of the research landscape on SSc with renal involvement, highlighting the key contributors and emerging trends.
