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) is a rare autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by a widespread accumulation of extracellular matrix components leading to fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Vascular changes occur in all involved tissues and are responsible for several distinctive clinical manifestations of the disease. This review focuses on the usefulness of various diagnostic tools in clinical practice for the early identification of clinical, functional, and/or structural RV impairment in SSc patients at risk of PH. It aims to identify specific causes of RV dysfunction, describe potential differences in outcome measures, and, ultimately, determine different cut-off values compared to subjects with PH not related to SSc.
