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

Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP) are highly specific for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a marginal increased prediction of the disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation of the presence of anti-CCP with clinical manifestations and disease activity in a cohort of RA patients. A total of 61 RA patients were included in this study. Data of disease-related parameters such as duration of disease, medications, degree of pain (visual analog scale, VAS), disease activity score 28 (DAS-28) and health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) were recorded. Laboratory workup included erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-CCP, complete blood count and anemia parameters. Anti-CCP positivity was associated with higher scores of DAS-28, longer duration of morning stiffness, serum RF positivity and low levels of serum ferritin, while it was not associated with disease duration, VAS, HAQ, ESR, CRP and hemoglobin.
