Review in Inflammopharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic inflammatory disorder that is mostly characterised by progressive symmetrical joint destruction, particularly in the wrist and fingers, while it may also affect additional joints and several organs, such as the skin, heart, blood vessels, and lungs. It is identified by raised anti-rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies. The chemical mediators involved in the activity of RA are IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. Pregnancy exerts a positive effect on RA that helps to modulate the disease condition. Different hypotheses are recommended to explain the ameliorating effect of pregnancy in RA. RA cannot be completely cured. The treatment goal is the attrition of pain and inflammation and the further progression of the disease. Long-term management of RA is carried out using disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Therapy of acute flares can be done with Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) accompanied by ad interim usage of glucocorticoids. Biologic response modifiers are also available; they act by abolishing the activity of T- cells. However, it is necessary to select the correct treatment regimen when it comes to the management of RA in pregnancy.
