The descriptive epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis in Catalonia: a retrospective study using routinely collected data.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Information on the epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Southern Europe is scarce. We estimated the age- and gender-adjusted incidence and prevalence of RA in Catalonia using routinely collected primary care records. We identified incident (2009-2012) and prevalent (on 31 December 2012) cases of RA in the SIDIAP database using ICD-10 codes. SIDIAP contains anonymized data from computerized primary care records for about five million adults (>80 % of the population). We estimated age- (5-year groups) and gender-specific, and directly standardized incidence and prevalence of RA and confidence intervals (95% CIs) assuming a Poisson distribution. A total of 20,091 prevalent (among whom 5,796 incident) cases of RA were identified among 4,796,498 study participants observed for up to 4 years. Rates of RA increased with age in both genders, peaking at the age of 65-70 years. Age- and gender-standardized incidence and prevalence rates were 0.20/1,000 person-years (95% CI 0.19-0.20) and 4.17/1,000 (4.11-4.23) respectively. Rheumatoid factor was positive (≥10 IU/mL) in 1,833 (73.9 %) of 2,482 cases tested in primary care. The incidence and prevalence of RA in Catalonia are similar to those of other Southern European regions, and lower than those of northern areas. This data will inform health care planning and resource allocation.
