Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06724952 (Clinical Study Evaluating Anti Rheumatic Activity and The Role of Silymarin in Attenuating Methotrexate Toxicity in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, related not only to traditional CV risk factors, but also to a chronic inflammatory state. However, lipid profiles in RA are different from those observed in the general population at risk of CV disease, where there is evidence of a positive relationship between disease and high cholesterol levels. In untreated patients with active RA this relationship is different, with a paradoxical effect resulting in lower levels of cholesterol associated with an increased risk of CV disease. In this review, we summarize the latest evidence on lipid abnormalities in the setting of RA and the interaction between inflammation and lipoproteins, as well as the effect of DMARDs and biologic therapies on lipid profiles and the possible implications for CV outcomes in this population.
