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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveExtra-articular manifestations (EAMs) are serious outcomes or complications of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with increasing mortality and morbidity. The purpose was to explore the factors influencing EAMs, tissue-specific/systemic EAMs, and the concurrence of several EAMs. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn total, 519 inpatients with RA were enrolled. The clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and medications of RA patients and the details of EAMs were recorded carefully. Differences between groups were examined by a Chi-square test, independent samples

resultsThe morbidity of EAMs was 44.70%. Male sex, age, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were independent influential factors of EAMs, and a number of statistically significant influence factors were found in the multivariate analysis of tissue-specific/systemic EAMs. Finally, age, CRP levels, number of RA-affected types of joints, and TCM were the factors that independently influenced the concurrence of several EAMs.

conclusionInfluential factors identified in this study could be recommended in clinical work, which is hopeful to decrease the morbidity and mortality of EAMs in RA.
