Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Preclinical phases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been described, genetic and environmental risk factors for RA development have been identified, and several biomarkers of RA have been detected long before the clinical onset of the disease; all of which have opened the possibility for preventive interventions. Several studies are currently exploring pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to prevent the development of RA. We will review the evidence for prevention of RA and discuss key challenges for preventive interventions, including identification of the adequate target population, the risks of applying potentially harmful and expensive therapies to asymptomatic at-risk individuals, and the importance of taking into account the preferences of individuals at risk regarding preventive treatment options.
