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

backgroundRecent studies showed that dyslipidemia could be a critical factor in the progression of cardiovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of the present study was to describe the relationship between serum lipid profile and SLE disease activity in young female adults with SLE.

methodsSeventy-one female subjects diagnosed with SLE aged 20~30 years were enrolled. Serum lipid profile including TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C, Apo A, Apo B, and Apo E were evaluated between control and young female SLE patients. Univariate correlation analyses were performed to explore the correlation between serum lipid levels and SLE disease activity.

resultsOur results showed that TG and VLDL-C levels were significantly increased in young female SLE as compared to control, with TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo A, and Apo B significantly reduced. Meanwhile, univariate correlation analyses showed negative correlations between SLE disease activity index and HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo A, and Apo B; with positive correlations between SLE disease activity index and TG and VLDL-C.

conclusionSerum lipid profile was significantly dysregulated in young female SLE patients. Moreover, SLE disease activity was correlated to the serum lipid levels, supporting the notion that the young patients with SLE might also have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
