Review in BioMed research international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05938244 (Cardiac and Pulmonary Assessment in Egyptian Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Their Correlation With Disease Activity), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers.

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.

Abstract

Although by definition rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an articular disorder, it is a systemic disease, and 18-40% of patients experience extra-articular manifestations (EAMs). The involvement of the respiratory system occurs in about 30-40% of RA patients, and in about 10-20% of them it represents the first manifestation of RA. A wide range of pulmonary manifestations are detectable in RA patients, including pulmonary parenchymal disease, pleural involvement, and airway and pulmonary inflammation. The clinical, radiological, and histological spectra of respiratory manifestations in RA reflect chronic immune activation, increased susceptibility to infection (often related to immunosuppressive medications), or direct drug. The type and severity of pulmonary involvement influence the prognosis, ranging from mild self-limiting conditions to severe life-threatening complications. Herein, we reviewed the various manifestations of respiratory involvement in RA, providing an overview on epidemiological, histological, clinical, and radiological data.
