Capillaroscopic patterns are associated with interstitial lung disease, skin fibrosis, anti-Th/To antibodies and quality of life in systemic sclerosis: a prospective cross-sectional study.

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
Background: Capillaroscopic patterns in systemic sclerosis (SSc) are routinely assessed by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC), yet their broader clinical relevance remains incompletely defined. Methods: In a prospective cross-sectional study of 70 SSc patients, we evaluated associations between NVC patterns and key clinical domains: interstitial lung disease (ILD), skin fibrosis (the modified Rodnan Skin Score, mRSS), SSc-specific autoantibody profile including anti-Th/To, immunosuppressive treatments, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs): SSc Quality of Life scale (SScQoL), Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for pain and disease activity (PtGA). Statistical methods included Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney Results: Advanced NVC patterns (4-5) were significantly associated with ILD ( Conclusion: Our study demonstrates significant associations between NVC severity and selected clinical, serological, therapeutic, and patient-reported domains in SSc.
