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

backgroundDisease-specific factors that predispose patients to diverse cardiac diseases in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been established. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for cardiac involvement in patients with SLE drawn from the Korean Lupus Network (KORNET) registry.

methodsA total of 437 patients with SLE recruited from the KORNET registry were included in the analysis. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors for the development of cardiac involvement during the follow-up period. The hazard ratios for risk factors of cardiac involvement were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test.

resultsOf 437 patients with SLE, 12 patients (2.7%) developed new cardiac involvement during a median follow-up period of 47.6 months. Frequencies in men and in patients with anti-Sm antibody, anti-Ro antibody, and at least one Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology damage index (SDI) score in patients with cardiac involvement were higher, compared to those without cardiac involvement (

conclusionThe results of this study reveal that SLE-related factors such as anti-Sm antibody, SDI, and corticosteroid dosage at baseline are risk factors for cardiac involvement in SLE.
