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

The objective of the study was to investigate the value of anti-α-enolase antibody (Ab) combined with RDW in evaluating the activity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Levels of serum anti-α-enolase Ab and RDW were detected in 193 SLE patients and 98 healthy controls by ELISA and automatic blood cell counter (XN9000), respectively. Furthermore, the correlation between anti-α-enolase Ab and RDW in evaluating the activity of SLE was evaluated by correlation analysis. The level of anti-α-enolase Ab (9.16 ± 0.44 ng/mL in stable group and 10.26 ± 0.36 ng/mL in activity group) was significantly higher than that in the healthy control (7.05 ± 0.27 ng/mL). The level of RDW (12.92% ± 1.23% in stable group and 13.57% ± 2.12% in activity group) was significantly higher than that in the healthy control (12.46% ± 0.61%). The levels of anti-α-enolase Ab or RDW in SLE patients were positively correlated with SLEDAI-2 K score (r= 0.75, r = 0.73), respectively. Compared with the anti-α-enolase Ab (AUC: 78.0%) or RDW (AUC:80.0%) alone, anti-α-enolase Ab combined with RDW (AUC: 81.0%) had the best of the effectiveness of evaluating activity of SLE. These data suggested that combined anti-α-enolase Ab with RDW might be good biomarker to predict the activity of SLE in clinical.
