The epidemiology of early inflammatory arthritis.
Review in Nature reviews. Rheumatology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
Various early arthritis clinics have provided extensive data on presentation, disease course and outcomes of early inflammatory arthritis (EIA). The present Review summarizes the epidemiological data from these early arthritis cohorts (EACs), which provide information about the frequency of, risk factors for, and outcomes of EIA and undifferentiated arthritis (UA). The studies demonstrate the large variation in selection criteria and outcome definitions in EACs, which demands careful interpretation of the results. The annual incidence of EIA ranges from 115 to 271 per 100,000 adults, and the incidence of UA ranges from 41 to 149 per 100,000 adults. Depending on the selection criteria used by the specific EACs, 13-54% of patients with UA will develop rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in 21-87% UA will persist. Epidemiological data from the various EACs has enabled the development of prediction models for persistent and erosive arthritis. These data formed the basis of new classification criteria developed in 2010, which could enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. Future clinical research should focus on the role of imaging techniques in the early detection of synovitis and on the effect of early treatment on the outcomes of EIA.
