Gastrointestinal Complications of Systemic Sclerosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, chronic systemic rheumatic disease. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is highly prevalent in SSc and any part of the GI tract may be affected. This can range from mild symptoms like heartburn and dysphagia to severe issues like abdominal distention, malnutrition, and fecal incontinence. In SSc patients, GI tract dysfunction significantly impacts the quality of life and is a major contributor to both morbidity and mortality. This case report highlights an 80-year-old female patient with SSc/CREST (Calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, Esophageal dysfunction, Sclerodactyly, and Telangiectasia) syndrome experiencing severe GI involvement who presented to the emergency department with hypoxic respiratory failure and acute kidney injury. The patient and her family finally made the decision to transition to inpatient hospice care, focusing on comfort and dignity, leading to the patient's peaceful passing.
