“…There was no publication bias among studies about dSSc by Egger test ( t = 0.29, P = 0.79), about ATA by Egger test ( t = 1.39, P = 0.20), or about ACA by Egger test ( t = 1.45, P = 0.19) (Figure B‐D). However, age (WMD = 3.39, 95% CI −1.54 to 8.31), 12,20,21,23,30 male sex (OR = 1.31, 95% CI 0.83‐2.06), 12,20,21,23,30 Raynaud phenomenon (OR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.30‐1.54), 12,21,23,30 digital ulcer (OR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.00‐3.20), 12,29 CRP (WMD = 0.98, 95% CI 0.00‐1.95), 12,23 positive ANA (OR = 1.6, 95% CI 0.62‐4.17), 12,20,21 positive anti‐U1 RNP antibody (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.69‐1.40), 17,21,23,24,30,31,37 positive anti‐Th/To antibody (OR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.09‐1.31), 23,37 and positive anti‐RNAP (OR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.23‐1.03) 17,23,31,37 were not associated with ILD in SSc patients (Figure A‐I). There was no publication bias in the studies about age by the Egger's test ( t = −0.43, P = 0.70), about male sex by the Egger's test ( t = 1.55, P = 0.33), and about anti‐U1 RNP by the Egger's test ( t = 1.35, P = 0.24) (Figure A‐C).…”
