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

objectiveThis study was designed to explore the clinical efficacy of methotrexate combined with iguratimod on patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its influence on the expression levels of HOTAIR in serum.

methodsA total of 268 RA patients were selected as research objects, 145 patients received methotrexate alone were used as a control group (CG), 123 patients received methotrexate combined with iguratimod were taken as a research group (RG), and serum of 60 healthy people undergoing physical examination was selected as a healthy control group (HCG). The therapeutic value of two therapeutic methods for RA was compared, and the HOTAIR expression in serum was detected by qRT-PCR.

resultsCompared with methotrexate used alone, the joint use of methotrexate and iguratimod could provide better clinical efficacy for RA patients and would not increase the incidence of adverse events. HOTAIR was highly expressed in the serum of RA patients, and its expression decreased after treatment.

conclusionCombination therapy of methotrexate and iguratimod is a safe and effective way to treat RA patients, which can be popularized clinically.
