Exploring the effect of alcohol on disease activity and outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis through systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
To evaluate the effects of alcohol consumption on disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis. EMBASE, Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched until July 29, 2020. English language studies that reported disease activity outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis were included. Studies were excluded if they were reviews, case reports, had fewer than 20 patients, or reported on prevalence but not disease activity in RA. Forest plots were used to determine pooled mean difference and were generated on RevMan5.3. Linear regression was used to determine correlations between alcohol and antibody status, gender, and smoking status. The search identified 4126 citations of which 14 were included. The pooled mean difference in DAS28 (95% CI) was 0.34 (0.24, 0.44) (p < 10
