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 the most common auto-immune, chronic inflammatory joint disease. Predominantly a musculoskeletal condition with a wide spectrum of skeletal and extra-skeletal manifestations, RA has a significant footfall in orthopaedic clinical practice worldwide. RA is essentially a clinical diagnosis; however, laboratory and radiographic investigations can provide complementary diagnostic and prognostic information about the disease. Early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate management are crucial since RA patients can develop chronic, erosive arthritis if left untreated or if treatment is delayed. Rheumatoid Factor (RF) antibody test is routinely employed for diagnostic purposes in patients with suspected RA. However, RF is present only in 70%-80% of patients with RA and can be non-specific. Therefore, Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA), a novel immunological marker for RA is increasingly being utilised to provide higher specificity and a better prognostic indicator in RA patients. We describe the immunological basis of ACPA test and highlight its current applications in the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of RA in clinical practice.
