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

Treat-to-target recommendations provide physicians a useful strategy to reduce the probability of disease progression and in general to manage PsA patients. However, it could be difficult to apply in real life, since PsA is a very heterogeneous disease with different manifestations to be treated. In fact, depending on the patient's expectation, some aspects of the disease could be prominent or not, beyond the mere achievement of the target of remission or low-disease activity. In this context, the concept of a "target to treat" strategy should be taken in to account.
