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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Abnormalities in coagulation have been linked with CVD in general and RA population. The aim of our study is to determine whether particular single nucleotide polymorphisms thought to be involved in the regulation of coagulation are over-represented in patients with RA compared to controls. We compared the frequency of atherothrombotic polymorphisms (Factor V Leiden, fibrinogen G455A, prothrombin G20210A and plasminogen activator inhibitor 4G5G) in 322 RA patients [231 females, mean age 61.5 ± 12, median disease duration 10 years (IQR = 14)] with 441 local controls. No significant differences were observed in genotype or allele frequencies either between RA and controls or between the disease subgroups studied. Whereas these polymorphisms may be of importance at the level of individual patients, they are unlikely to be clinically important on a population basis.
