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

backgroundTo compare the clinical, serological and histologic features between male and female patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and explore the potential effect of gender on lymphoma development.

methodsFrom a multicenter population (Universities of Udine, Pisa and Athens, Harokopion and Ioannina (UPAHI)) consisting of consecutive SS patients fulfilling the 2016 ACR/EULAR criteria, male patients were identified, matched and compared with female controls. Data-driven multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to identify independent lymphoma-associated factors.

resultsFrom 1987 consecutive SS patients, 96 males and 192 matched female controls were identified and compared. Males had a higher frequency of lymphoma compared to females (18% vs. 5.2%, OR = 3.89, 95% CI: 1.66 to 8.67;

conclusionMale SS patients carry an increased risk of lymphoma development. Although statistics showed no difference in classical lymphoma predictors compared to females, data-driven analysis revealed gender and lymphadenopathy as independent lymphoma-associated features.
