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

backgroundPrimary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands and extraglandular organ systems. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in pSS patients and is one of the independent risk factors for a poor prognosis. The previously reported characteristics and potential risks contributing to pSS-associated ILD have been controversial.

methodsA cohort of 201 newly diagnosed pSS patients were studied over a period of 3 years. Data were from clinical charts. The pSS patients were classified into two groups, namely pSS-ILD or pSS without ILD, according to the lung evaluation.

resultsIn total, the prevalence of pSS-associated ILD was 78.6%. The pSS patients associated ILD were more likely to be male, older and smokers in comparison to the pSS patients without ILD. There were no significant differences in multiorgan involvement between the two groups. Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was the most common radiological pattern (45.5%). pSS with ILD was associated with increasing age [odds ratio (OR) =1.073], smoking (OR =8.544) and antinuclear antibody (ANA) positive (OR =3.286). Over a median follow-up period of 24 months (range, 18-30 months), no patients died, experienced acute exacerbation of ILD, or had newly diagnosed pSS-ILD.

conclusionspSS associated ILD were more commonly in males, older patients and smokers. Aging, cigarette smoking, and ANA positivity may be potential risk factors contributing to ILD in pSS patients.
