Risk of epilepsy in rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis of population based studies and bioinformatics analysis.
Article in Therapeutic advances in chronic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAn increasing number of studies support an association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and brain disorders. This study aims to determine the association between RA and epilepsy.
methodsA comprehensive search of databases in both English and Chinese was performed. Data from the selected studies were extracted and analyzed independently by two authors. Genes associated with epilepsy and RA were also collected and analyzed.
resultsWe included six nationwide population based studies (
conclusionsOur study, utilizing meta-analysis and bioinformatical data, highlights a close association between epilepsy and RA. Further studies are still warranted to expand these findings, especially for a population that is exposed to RA during fetal and childhood periods.
