Upadacitinib as a potential management option for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disease involving vasculopathy, immune dysfunction, and fibrosis, with varied clinical presentations that complicate treatment standardization. It often affects multiple organs, including the skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys. We present a 52-year-old woman with a 14-year history of diffuse cutaneous SSc with severe, treatment-resistant manifestations. She had Raynaud's disease with digital ulceration and auto-amputation, telangiectasias, sclerodactyly, esophageal scleroderma, interstitial lung disease, and extensive calcinosis requiring multiple surgeries. Her disease remained poorly controlled despite treatment with nintedanib, sevelamer, colchicine, tadalafil, and prior immunosuppressants such as prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil. We initiated a trial of upadacitinib which resulted in improved vascular and cutaneous symptoms. Overall, upadacitinib provided meaningful clinical benefits despite her refractory, multisystem disease.
