Determining the presence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesThe aim of the study was to determine the manifestations of PAD in a population of RA participants with no history of cardiovascular events.
methodsA prospective observational non-experimental study was conducted on 100 participants presenting with RA and no history of significant cardiovascular events. Vascular assessment including Doppler spectral waveform analysis and Ankle Brachial Pressure Index was conducted.
resultsTriphasic waveforms was found in the Posterior Tibial Artery (PT) in 70% right foot, 66% left foot and Dorsalis Pedis Artery (DP) in both feet in the64% of the patients. Twenty-nine per cent of the participants had biphasic PT right foot and 33% had biphasic PT left foot. Thirty-six per cent had biphasic DP both feet whilst only one participant (1%) had a discontinuous monophasic PT of both feet. The ABPI readings were found to be normal in 96% of participants and mild PAD was found in only 4% of the study population.
conclusionsResults indicate that whilst the ABPI index was normal in the majority of participants, waveform analysis was suboptimal (biphasic) in approximately one-third of the study sample. These findings highlight that the assessment of peripheral arterial perfusion should utilize both modalities to identify patients with early PAD.
