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

aimOccasional findings of anti-cyclic-citrullinated-protein-antibodies (anti-CCP) were rarely observed in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the presence of anti-CCP can determine different clinical subsets and influence methotrexate monotherapy survival, and biotechnological drug retention rate.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study on PsA patients. All patients were required to fulfill the CASPAR criteria for PsA, and to present juxta-articular osteo-proliferative signs at X-ray. The exclusion criteria were age less than 18 years old, satisfaction of rheumatoid arthritis classification criteria, and seropositivity for rheumatoid factor. Clinical characteristics, anti-CCP titer, drug survival and comorbidities information were recorded for each patient. Statistical significance was set at

resultsOf 407 patients with PsA screened 113 were recruited. Twelve patients were anti-CCP positive. Methotrexate monotherapy survival was shorter in patients with anti-CCP (150 ± 48.3 weeks

conclusionAnti-CCP in PsA could be suggestive of more severe disease, with worse drug survival of both methotrexate monotherapy and first-line b-DMARDs, and higher chance to be b-DMARDs multi-failure. So, they can be considered for more intensive clinical management of these patients.
