A Hospitalized Patient With Systemic Scleroderma Requiring ICU-Level Care.
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
A patient with a history of systemic scleroderma complicated by interstitial lung disease on two liters of home oxygen at baseline presented to the emergency department with a two-week history of progressively worsening dysphagia. An initial chest X-ray showed concerns for bilateral pneumonia and aspiration. Initial laboratory results revealed anemia with a hemoglobin level of 6.9 g/dL. After receiving intravenous antibiotics and beginning transfusion of one unit of packed red blood cells, the patient went from being weak on examination to becoming lethargic, hypoxic, hypercapnic, hypertensive, and hypothermic due to flash pulmonary edema in the setting of a hypertensive emergency. Within only a few hours of being in the emergency department, the patient required transfer to the medical ICU; a prolonged hospital course ensued, eventually leading to a stable discharge, nearly three months later.
