Early Myocardial Changes in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis without Known Cardiovascular Diseases-A Comprehensive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Clinically silent cardiac disease is frequently observed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in RA. We sought to evaluate the myocardium of young RA patients without known cardiac disease using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), including T1/T2 mapping sequences. Eighteen RA patients (median age 41 years, 83% females) mainly with low disease activity or in remission and without any known cardiovascular disease were prospectively included to undergo CMR. A control group consisted of 10 sex- and age-matched patients without RA or any known structural cardiovascular disease. Heart chambers size and left/right ventricular systolic function were similar in patients with RA and controls. Signs of myocardial oedema were present in up to 39% of RA patients, including T2 time above cut-off value in 7 patients (39%) in comparison to none of the controls (
