Assessment of Cardiorenal Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis Patients.
Article in Biomolecules, 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 an autoimmune disease associated with a high burden of morbidity and mortality due to organ complications. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and cardiac involvement, characterized by chronic right ventricular (RV) pressure overload with consequent RV dysfunction and ultimately right heart failure (HF), are among these. A common comorbidity in SSc is chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is often present at the time of PAH diagnosis or a decline in renal function may occur during the course of the disease. CKD is strongly and independently associated with mortality in patients with PAH and HF. The cardiovascular and renal systems are closely interconnected, and disruption of this balance may result in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Type 2 CRS refers to CKD as a consequence of chronic HF. In clinical practice, non-specific markers such as troponin, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP), and serum creatinine aid in CRS diagnosis. More specific biomarkers, including cystatin C (CysC), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), galectin-3, and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), have shown value for diagnosis and prognosis in CRS. This study aimed to evaluate comprehensively heart/kidney damage markers related to CRS in SSc patients compared with healthy controls (HC) and to examine their association with renal and cardiac ultrasound parameters. SSc patients showed significantly higher CRS markers than HC (
