Power-Doppler perfusion phenotype in RA patients is dependent on anti-citrullinated peptide antibody status, not on rheumatoid factor.

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.
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
It is not known whether there are any consistent non-serological differences between seropositive and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, and if any, whether they depend upon rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA), or both. In a pilot study, we showed that the two forms could be differentiated using power-Doppler sonography (PDS), and that the difference is ACPA dependent. This extended study explored whether the previous findings could be confirmed. 103 patients 51 ACPA positive (ACPA +), 52 ACPA negative (ACPA -) with active wrist arthritis were examined using PDS. By means of a temporal image series, pulsatility was evaluated over a 3-5-s period, maximum and minimum perfusion signal were determined using a computer program counting the number of coloured pixels for each frame.
