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

Dactylitis is diffuse swelling of the digits that is usually related to an underlying inflammatory or infiltrative disorder. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is the most common severe disease thought to cause dactylitis. Our understanding of the pathogenesis of PsA-related dactylitis comes from experimental animal models of PsA-like disease, as well as advances in imaging and other clinical studies. Clinical trials in PsA have increasingly included dactylitis as an important secondary outcome measure. These studies indicate that cytokines drive multi-locus microanatomical pan-digital pathology. Given the importance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the pathogenesis of dactylitis is best understood as an initial aberrant innate immune response to biomechanical stress or injury, with subsequent adaptive immune mechanisms amplifying the dactylitis inflammatory response. Regarding the treatment of dactylitis, no studies have been conducted using dactylitis as the primary outcome measure, and the current knowledge comes from analysis of dactylitis as a secondary outcome measure.
