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

We have reviewed the experience in a single center of a biologic register for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Over the past decade, the entry demographics show that we are treating patients at an earlier stage and with slightly less severe disease. Our outcomes measured by the percentage in DAS28 remission are comparable with national databases. We were surprised by the small number who were switched from their first biologic to a second (27 %), but this might reflect the lack of a firm "treat to target" approach. Our use of concomitant methotrexate/leflunomide is less than we would have liked and thought, but our use of concomitant corticosteroids is much less than normally seen. A single-center registry can provide useful monitoring and quality assurance data and stimulate change.
