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

Rheumatic diseases are highly prevalent chronic disorders and the leading cause of physical disability worldwide, with a marked socio-economic impact. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology with an autoimmune pathogenesis, characterised by arthropathy with chronic, deforming, destructive evolution and multiple systemic manifestations. The management of RA has undergone significant changes as far as objectives and approaches are concerned, ending in the current strategy known as 'treat to target'. The therapeutic array of RA includes several categories of medicinal products, of varying potential. There are several criteria for the classification of medicinal products used against this disease, one of the most important and modern of which divides such substances according to their effects on the progress of the disease: symptom-modifying antirheumatic drugs (including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticoids), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (including various substances, such as gold salts, antimalarials, sulfasalazine, D-penicillamine; non-specific immunosuppressive medication, such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine and leflunomide) and biological therapy is a recent addition, providing new insight into the treatment of this disease. The selection of the optimal therapy for RA should be based on guidelines and recommendations, but also on clinical particular aspects and patient preferences.
