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

objectiveTo determine the frequency of impaired renal functions and hypertension in rheumatoid arthritis.

methodsThis study was conducted between May 1

resultsIn this study the mean age of study participants was 42.4 (± 9.5) years with disease duration of 7.7(±4.8) years, prevalence of Impaired renal functions of 14.6% (n=38) and hypertension in 53.5% (n=139).Regression analysis shows there is significant association between hypertension, smoking and self/hakeem medications with impaired renal functions (p-0.5). Kappa analysis shows both (MDRD & CG methods) had uniformity in picking up cases of impaired renal functions 75.6% (p-0.05).

conclusionIn RA decline in renal functions is seen with self-use NSAID's/hakeem medications along with other modifiable factors like smoking and hypertension, while conventional DMARD's don't show association with decline. There is very high prevalence of hypertension in rheumatoid arthritis.
