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

purpose of reviewTo update our previous literature review and management recommendations on risk stratification and primary thrombosis prophylaxis in persistently antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-positive individuals. RECENT

findingsThe estimated annual thrombosis incident rate (ATIR) among aPL-positive individuals with or without systemic autoimmune disease (SAIDx) is 0 to 5.3%, probably very low (< 1%/year) in those with no other SAIDx and thrombosis risk factors. Risk stratification based on aPL profile, age, additional SAIDx, and traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) or venous thrombosis risk factors is crucial to determine the risk of first thrombosis in aPL-positive patients. The protective effect of low-dose aspirin for primary thrombosis prophylaxis prevention is not supported by randomized controlled data. Hydroxychloroquine is protective against thrombosis in aPL-positive SLE patients; however, its role in aPL-positive individuals with other SAIDx remains uncertain. Statins downregulate proinflammatory and prothrombotic biomarkers among antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) patients and may have a role in aPL-positive individuals with high CVD risk. The optimal primary thrombosis prevention strategy in patients with clinically significant aPL profiles should include (a) regular screening and elimination of non-aPL thrombosis risk factors, (b) optimal management of concomitant SAIDx,
