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

As remission has now become a realistic therapeutic goal in the clinical management of RA due to the introduction and widespread adoption of biologic agents, there is a greater need for earlier diagnoses and objective methods for evaluating disease activity and response to treatment. In this capacity, advanced imaging strategies are assuming an expansive clinical role, particularly as they take advantage of newer imaging technologies and the shift toward imaging at the molecular level. Molecular imaging utilizes target-specific probes to non-invasively visualize molecular, cellular, and physiological perturbations in response to the underlying pathology. Probes for nuclear and MR imaging have been and are being developed that react with discrete aspects of inflammatory and destructive pathways specific to RA. These probes in addition to new MR sequences and contrast agents have the potential to provide an earlier and more reliable assessment of clinical outcome, disease activity, severity, and location, and therapeutic response. Furthermore, these imaging strategies may enable a more fundamental understanding of critical pathophysiological processes and the advent of new molecular therapies. This review will discuss these advances in both nuclear medicine and MRI strategies for imaging RA with a particular emphasis on molecular imaging.
