Palliative care in systemic sclerosis: incorporating advance care planning into longitudinal care.
Review in Journal of scleroderma and related disorders, 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
Despite advances in rheumatological treatments, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) suffer with myriad symptoms and experience associated quality of life decrements. Although SSc-related mortality is reported around 53%, there is a paucity of existing literature describing advance care planning and palliative care in SSc. Here we review symptom management burden and strategies by organ manifestation: interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, gastrointestinal involvement, cutaneous and musculoskeletal manifestations and digital ischaemia. Then we review domains of palliative care in the context of SSc including psychosocial support, sharing prognostic information, discussing goals of care, advance care planning and comfort-focused care. Finally we suggest unmet research needs in palliative care and SSc.
