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

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows the early diagnosis of various cardiovascular pathophysiologic phenomena in autoimmune diseases. Preliminary studies suggest that CMR holds a promising role in initiating the necessary changes in anti-rheumatic and cardiac treatment among patients with autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It is widely known that the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has been related to a worse cardiovascular prognosis. CMR has been documented to be the most valuable tool for diagnosis and risk prediction of cardiac involvement in a sarcoidosis population, while in SLE, the gap between clinical and autopsy diagnosis of the myocardial disease could be narrowed with the implementation of CMR. In different connective tissue diseases, including SLE, LGE has been demonstrated to be present early after the initial diagnosis of SLE. Considering that CMR, including LGE identifies more patients with silent myocardial disease in SLE and other connective tissue diseases than echocardiography, CMR should be the preferred imaging modality, especially in the era of modern techniques with broader availability and expertise. In this review, we summarize the major indications, advantages and limitations of the use of CMR among patients with autoimmune disorders.
