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

introductionAnti-RNA polymerase III (a-RNA Pol III) antibodies are marker antibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).

aimTo assess the prevalence of a-RNA Pol III in patients with SSc and to identify the differences in the disease picture in SSc patients with and without a-RNA Pol III antibodies. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study was performed in 126 SSc patients. The subtype of SSc, incidence of internal organ involvement, malignancy, death and serological profiles were determined in the entire group. The study groups were studied according to the presence of antibodies by applying the commercial test - EUROLINE SSc Profile. Due to the presence of a-RNA Pol III, patients were divided into two groups: the a-RNA Pol III (+) SSc group of 19 patients and the a-RNA Pol III (-) SSc group of 107 patients.

resultsA-RNA Pol III were present in 19/126 patients with SSc (15%), 13/19 (68.4%) patients had no other SSc marker antibodies. A-RNA Pol III were more common in patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc (

conclusionsAnti-a-RNA Pol III antibodies are common in patients with SSc, particularly with a diffuse subtype. In more than 50% of patients with a-RNA Pol III antibodies, they may be present as the sole marker of antibodies. In SSc, a-RNA Pol III antibodies are frequently associated with malignancy occurrence, kidney and lung involvement.
