Correlations between autoantibodies and the ATR-FTIR spectra of sera from rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases worldwide. Due to high heterogeneity in disease manifestation, accurate and fast diagnosis of RA is difficult. This study analyzed the potential relationship between the infrared (IR) spectra obtained by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and the presence of autoantibodies and antibodies against urease in sera. Additionally, the wave number of the IR spectrum that enabled the best differentiation between patients and healthy blood donors was investigated. Using a mathematical model involving principal component analysis and discriminant analysis, it was shown that the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibody, rheumatoid factor, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, and anti-nuclear antibodies correlated significantly with the wave numbers in the IR spectra of the tested sera. The most interesting findings derived from determination of the best predictors for distinguishing RA. Characteristic features included an increased reaction with urease mimicking peptides and a correspondence with particular nucleic acid bands. Taken together, the results demonstrated the potential application of ATR-FTIR in the study of RA and identified potential novel markers of the disease.
