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

Purpose: We aimed to identify various cardiopulmonary involvement patterns in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). Methods: Laboratory experiments, pulmonary function test, 6-min walk distance (6MWD), transthoracic echocardiography, and 12-lead electrocardiography were used to evaluate cardiopulmonary function in patients with SSc and those with MCTD.. Results: A total of 138 patients with SSc and 56 patients with MCTD were enrolled in the study. Patients in the MCTD group exhibited a higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) (128.73 ± 16.82 vs. 121.95 ± 21.22, Conclusion: In this cross-sectional analysis, we found small airway dysfunction in patients with SSc and impaired left ventricular systolic function in patients with MCTD. These findings indicate that there is significant heterogeneity in the cardiopulmonary involvement patterns, although these patterns are both connective tissue diseases with similar disease duration and comorbidity burden.
