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

When liver damage is present in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, it is sometimes difficult to determine whether it is a hepatic manifestation of RA, associated primary liver disease or hepatotoxic liver disease which developed during the treatment of RA. Liver damage during RA is most common in the form of asymptomatic abnormal liver tests. Occasionally, liver damage may progress to cirrhosis. Patients with RA are more susceptible to an associated autoimmune liver disease. Medications used in rheumatology are often hepatotoxic and it is difficult to differentiate between hepatic manifestations of the primary disease and potential hepatotoxicity of the administered medications. The significance of the paper is in the fact that it includes the most relevant and the latest information on this commonly present problem in clinical practice. The aim of the author is to provide comprehensive but at the same time concise data which will be useful to the doctors who come into contact with RA patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic liver disease. Timely diagnosis and treatment of liver disease in RA patients can significantly influence the course and outcome of rheumatoid arthritis.
