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

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) affects young patients in the most productive years of their life, and the consequences of organic or tissue damage involve a decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). While acute disease manifestations of APS are well known, information on the long-term prognosis and damage in affected patients is still very limited. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients would be expected to experience long-term complications and even die as a consequence of APS. Organ damage in APS has been evaluated using different methods and definitions, including the SLICC/ACR Damage Index (SDI), which tend to underestimate aPL-related damage. A new damage index in APS has been proposed (DIAPS), and it seems to be more accurate than SDI. Given the implications for morbidity and mortality, it is imperative to assess accurately aPL-related damage and HRQoL in patients with APS.
