Metabolomics in systemic sclerosis.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 is a rare autoimmune condition leading to incurable complications. Therefore fast and precise diagnosis is crucial to prevent patient death and to maintain quality of life. Unfortunately, currently known biomarkers do not meet this need. To address this problem researchers use diverse approaches to elucidate the underlying aberrations. One of the methods applied is metabolomics. This modern technique enables a comprehensive assessment of multiple compound concentrations simultaneously. As it has been gaining popularity, we found it necessary to summarize metabolomic studies presented so far in a narrative review. We found 11 appropriate articles. All of the researchers found significant differences between patients and control groups, whereas the reported findings were highly inconsistent. Additionally, we have found the investigated groups in most studies were scarcely described, and the inclusion/exclusion approach was diverse. Therefore, further study with meticulous patient assessment is necessary.
