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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies in patients with Down's syndrome (DS) previously tested for IgM rheumatoid factor (RF) and to correlate the results with clinical findings. Eighty-eight patients with DS previously tested for IgM-RF were divided into two groups matched for sex and age. Group A consists of 42 RF positive patients and group B of 44 RF negative patients. The presence of anti-CCP antibody was determined using a second-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A total of 52.3% (45/86) of DS patients were positive for anti-CCP antibodies. Twenty-four patients (57.1%) of the RF positive group and 21 (47.7%) of the RF negative group presented anti-CCP circulating antibodies. The concordance between both tests was 54.6%. None of the patients had clinical evidence of rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Although a high prevalence of anti-CCP antibodies was observed in DS patients, no association has been found presently with clinical disease. Careful follow-up of these patients will be necessary to clarify the real significance of these findings.
