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

objectivesInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common extra-muscular manifestation of anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) and the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ASS. Data on prognostic factors in these patients are lacking.

methodsA total of 69 patients with ILD and positivity for at least one of the following autoantibodies were included: anti-Jo-1, anti-PL7, anti-PL12, and anti-EJ. Relevant clinical characteristics were registered. According to the changes in the extent of abnormalities at the follow-up on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), three groups were defined: the regression, stability, and deterioration groups. Univariate analysis was performed to evaluate possible prognostic factors and multivariate analysis by logistic regression was then applied to determine the independent prognostic factors in ASS-ILD.

resultsThe cohort comprised 69 patients positive for anti-synthetase antibodies, i.e., 30 for anti-Jo-1, 16 for anti-EJ, 13 for anti-PL7, and 10 for anti-PL12. The mean length of follow-up was 15 months. Sex, age at diagnosis, fever at presentation, and counts of CD3

conclusionsAt the onset of ASS, some clinical features and HRCT pattern of ILD may suggest an unfavorable outcome of lung involvement on HRCT, even with routine therapy. These factors may contribute to the high long-term mortality of ASS. KEY POINTS: • Evaluation of lung involvement on HRCT is important in the follow-up of patients with interstitial lung disease related to anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS-ILD). • The interstitial lung disease related to ASS responds to the treatment variably. • Some clinical and imaging characteristics are associated with poor prognosis in patients with ASS-ILD, including fever at diagnosis, a lower serum CD3
