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 issue of atherosclerosis in the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is receiving considerable attention within and without the autoimmune setting. Measurement of arterial intima media thickness (IMT) of is an easy and surrogate means of detecting subclinical atherosclerosis. This technique has been applied to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) nand primary APS in the attempt to unravel a possible association between antiphospholipid antibodies and premature atherosclerosis. The available data is reviewed in the light of the most recent atherogenic pathways that may differentially account for premature vascular disease in SLE and primary APS.
