Mechanisms of lung disease development in rheumatoid arthritis.
Review in Nature reviews. Rheumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 77 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes joint inflammation and damage. Extra-articular manifestations occur in many patients and can include lung involvement in the form of airway or parenchymal inflammation and fibrosis. Although the pathophysiology of articular RA has been extensively investigated, the mechanisms causing airway and parenchymal lung disease are not well defined. Infections, cigarette-smoking, mucosal dysbiosis, host genetics and premature senescence are all potentially important contributors to the development of lung disease in patients with RA. RA-associated lung disease (which can predate the onset of articular disease by many years) probably originates from chronic airway and alveolar epithelial injury that occurs in an individual with a genetic background that permits the development of autoimmunity, leading to chronic inflammation and subsequent airway and lung parenchymal remodelling and fibrosis. Further investigations into the specific mechanisms by which lung disease develops in RA will be crucial for the development of effective therapies. Identifying mechanisms by which environmental and host factors cooperate in the induction of autoimmunity in the lung might also help to establish the order of early events in RA.
