Esophageal melanosis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome: A case report.
Article in Science progress. 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
Esophageal melanosis is an uncommon condition characterized by melanin deposition in the esophageal mucosa. We report the case of a female in her late 40s with systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome, in whom an incidental hyperpigmented lesion was identified in the mid-esophagus during endoscopy performed for iron-deficiency anemia. Histopathological examination confirmed melanocytosis without evidence of dysplasia or malignancy. Although its etiology remains unclear, esophageal melanosis has been linked to chronic mucosal inflammation or injury, which may be triggered by autoimmune alterations. Further studies are warranted to clarify this potential association.
