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

backgroundExtra-articular manifestations (EAMs) are common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cardiac EAMs are rare but may cause complete heart block and damage to the heart valves. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a middle-aged woman with long-standing RA and EAMs as the most prominent symptoms. The patient experienced complete atrioventricular heart block and developed nodular vegetations affecting the mitral valve, ultimately leading to severe mitral regurgitation and valve replacement. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of cardiac EAMs in RA may be challenging for the clinicians. Symptoms and findings may mimic more common conditions such as malignancy and infectious endocarditis. A multidisciplinary approach is of paramount importance in order to make an early diagnosis and to provide optimal treatment to patients with RA and cardiac complications.
