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

Centromere-antibody-positive limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (LCSSc) is a common disease. It generally takes a benign course, but can still considerably reduce quality of life. Our patient-a woman born in 1987 who was first diagnosis 2017-suffered from pain and declining hand function due to sclerodactyly and calcinosis. Methotrexate (MTX) and analgesics were not effective. After commencing off-label treatment with filgotinib, the patient reported rapid improvement. An X-ray after 8 months showed a reduction in calcinosis load. Filgotinib is well tolerated. Sclerodactyly has resolved, and hand function continues to improve. The clinical and radiological response merit further enquiry of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in centromere-antibody-positive LCSSc.
