Systemic Sclerosis Presenting With Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and Retinal Artery Occlusion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc), also known as scleroderma, is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by fibroproliferative changes, vascular dysfunction, and small-vessel proliferation. It can affect multiple organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, heart, eyes, kidneys, and lungs. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis who tested negative for specific antibodies and simultaneously developed two rare complications: autoimmune atrophic gastritis resulting in megaloblastic anemia and acute retinal artery occlusion. Notably, she presented with megaloblastic anemia despite normal serum vitamin B12 levels, consistent with early deficiency due to parietal cell destruction and reduced intrinsic factor production. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing uncommon gastrointestinal and ocular manifestations in systemic sclerosis, as timely diagnosis and management are essential to prevent serious complications such as severe anemia and permanent vision loss.
