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

Even in the era of modern guidelines, the treatment of rheumatic diseases is only as good as the framework of rheumatological care within which the treatment is carried out. The access to high-quality medical treatment for all patients is therefore essentially decisive for the prognosis of the patients. This article describes the current state of outpatient treatment in rheumatology and demonstrates which quality projects, such as treatment contracts, outpatient specialized medical treatment (ASV), digitalization and training as specialized rheumatological assistant (RFA), have been created in order to ensure the treatment of our patients. Furthermore, standards are defined that can guarantee a contemporary and guideline-conform treatment in outpatient rheumatological units. As an example it is an affirmation of the Professional Association of German Rheumatologists (BDRh) for ensuring optimal care for all rheumatology patients through early or emergency rheumatology clinics, treat to target, appropriate delegation of medical duties and diversification of treatment, thus an assurance of the quality and comprehensive treatment in rheumatology. The important topic of safeguarding the next generation of rheumatologists, which is indispensable for this, is also discussed.
