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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and/or internal organs. Emerging evidence suggests that subcutaneous adipose tissue may contribute to systemic inflammation and fibrosis in SSc. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of immune cell composition in SSc by simultaneously examining blood, skin, and subcutaneous adipose tissue. PATIENTS AND

methodsUsing spectral flow cytometry, we profiled major immune cell subsets and explored their associations with clinical features of SSc.

resultsPatients with mild skin fibrosis (low mRSS) exhibited increased cDC1, moDC, and ThGM-CSF cells in the skin, alongside with an influx of Th22 cells and reduced terminal NK cells in subcutaneous adipose tissue. In SSc patients with lung fibrosis, peripheral blood showed decreased NK cells and increased CD8

conclusionsThese findings highlight the potential role of distinct immune subsets for disease progression and tissue-specific fibrosis in SSc.
