Anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome occurrence in patients with persistent anti-phospholipid antibodies.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We investigated the overall frequency of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) occurrence in Korean patients with consecutively detected anti-phospholipid antibodies with an interval of 12 weeks (persistent aPLs). We retrospectively reviewed the results of blood tests of aPLs in 14,889 patients in whom aPL tests were performed at Yonsei University College of Medicine, Severance Hospital, from January 2012 to August 2018, and included 833 patients with persistent aPLs. We obtained clinical and laboratory data including anti-cardiolipin antibodies IgM and IgG, anti-beta2 glycoprotein1 IgM and IgG, and lupus anticoagulant (LAC). Of 833 patients with persistent aPLs, 96 patients (11.5%) had APS (84 patients had thrombotic events and 12 had pregnancy morbidity). Among aPLs, LAC was detected in patients with APS more frequently than asymptomatic carriers of aPLs (46.9% vs. 25.9%, p < 0.001). Patients with LAC (relative risk (RR) 2.558, p < 0.001) and aPLs ≥ 2 (RR 1.731, p = 0.014) exhibited the higher rate of APS occurrence than those without. Moreover, patients with aPLs ≥ 3 and aPLs ≥ 4 exhibited the higher rates of APS occurrence than those without (RR 2.753, p < 0.001 and RR 3.209, p = 0.013). Meanwhile, patients with ANA, anti-dsDNA, anti-SSA/Ro, and SLE exhibited the increased frequency of LAC positivity, compared to those without (RR 3.304, p = 0.005, RR 4.269, p = 0.032, RR 3.750, p = 0.041 and RR 8.828, p < 0.001, respectively). APS occurs in 11.5% of Korean patients with persistent aPLs. LAC positivity and aPLs ≥ 2 were significantly associated with APS occurrence. SLE and SLE-related autoantibodies were associated with LAC positivity.
