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

Systemic sclerosis (SSc), a highly fatal autoimmune disease, is characterized by pathological hallmarks including microvascular damage, immune dysregulation, and progressive fibrosis affecting the skin and multiple organs. Clinically, SSc-related interstitial lung disease and cardiovascular complications represent the primary causes of mortality. Emerging research has highlighted the role of lipid metabolism dysregulation in SSc pathogenesis, with clinically observed abnormal lipid profiles potentially linked to disease progression. Advances in lipidomics have elucidated pathological alterations in specific lipid species and their signaling pathways, offering novel insights into metabolic reprogramming in SSc and identifying potential therapeutic targets. This review synthesizes current evidence on lipid abnormalities in SSc patients, focusing on the interplay between dyslipidemia and three core pathological processes: vascular injury, immune dysfunction, and fibrotic remodeling. Additionally, we briefly analyze the effects of existing drug interventions on the lipid profile of SSc patients, providing a foundation for developing lipid metabolism-targeted therapies to refine clinical management.
