Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide and rheumatoid factor in HIV positive patients.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The aim of this study was to determine the difference of anti-CCP and RF between HIV positive patients and a healthy control group. The rheumatological complications in HIV positive patients are rather common and are recognized as a serious problem that requires more attention. Anti-CCP and RF are the only laboratory tools for rheumatoid disorder diagnostics and predictors of the course of the disease. We determined anti-CCP and RF in sera of 35 healthy volunteers and 45 HIV positive patients. Data were compared using chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test and ROC curve statistics. Both parameters were significantly higher in HIV positive patients, and significant differences between areas under the anti-CCP and RF curves were observed. Median value for anti-CCP in HIV positive patients was higher than the reference interval, and RF values were, in the reference interval, suggested by the manufacturer. Both anti-CCP and RF are significantly higher in HIV positive patients. ROC analysis showed that anti-CCP distinguishes the two groups better than RF. Because of that, it would be of a great interest to investigate the HIV positive patients after the detailed rheumatological examination.
