Latin-American challenges and opportunities in rheumatology.
Article in Arthritis research & therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The importance of diseases to mankind is very similar worldwide. However, social and environmental issues, not to mention political and individual aspects, affect the prevalence and management of diseases and their outcomes. I present a brief and tentative comment to illustrate that the Latin-American rheumatology community, despite relevant gains in recent years, has some challenges to face in order to improve patient care in our region.
