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

backgroundTo explore the soluble Neuropilin-1 (sNRP-1) concentrations in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and the periodontal clinical status of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted an exploratory study with 40 study participants, 20 with RA, and 20 healthy controls. Clinical and periodontal data were recorded, and GCF samples were obtained. sNRP-1 levels in GCF were determined by ELISA assay. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney

resultsRA patients had significantly higher levels of sNRP-1 in GCF (p ​= ​0.0447). The median levels of GCF-sNRP-1 were 208.85 ​pg/μl (IQR 131.03) in the RA group compared to 81.46 ​pg/μl (IQR 163.73) in the control group. We observed an association between the GCF-sNRP-1 concentrations and the RA diagnosis (OR:1.009; CI 1.00-1.001; p ​= ​0.047). The diagnosis of chronic periodontitis was also associated with RA (OR: 6.9; CI 1.52-31.37; p ​= ​0.012). Moreover, the AUC-ROC of GCF-sNRP-1 concentrations combined with periodontal clinical parameters such as periodontal probing depth and periodontal inflamed surface area was 0.80.

conclusionThis exploratory case-control study shows that RA patients had significantly higher levels of sNRP-1 in GCF. New longitudinal studies are necessary to evaluate the role of NRP-1 in periodontal tissues and consider it an oral biomarker with clinical value in RA.
