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

The role of neutrophils in systemic sclerosis (SSc) remains incompletely understood. To address this, blood samples from 39 SSc patients, 39 healthy controls, and 22 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients were analyzed. Our results indicate that in SSc, neutrophils exhibited substantial activation, evidenced by granule mobilization, elevated plasma levels of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) byproducts, and upregulated TIE2 expression. In parallel, they underwent metabolic reprogramming, characterized by increased autophagy, likely to support the heightened energy demands of activation. By contrast, neutrophils from SLE patients displayed minimal autophagy, lacked TIE2 expression, and shifted toward low-density granulocytes. Neutrophil reprogramming in SSc correlated with plasma levels of HMGB1
