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

Lipid mediators are crucial for the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, global analyses have not been undertaken to systematically define the lipidome underlying the dynamics of disease evolution, activation, and resolution. Here, we performed untargeted lipidomics analysis of synovial fluid and serum from RA patients at different disease activities and clinical phases (preclinical phase to active phase to sustained remission). We found that the lipidome profile in RA joint fluid was severely perturbed and that this correlated with the extent of inflammation and severity of synovitis on ultrasonography. The serum lipidome profile of active RA, albeit less prominent than the synovial lipidome, was also distinguishable from that of RA in the sustained remission phase and from that of noninflammatory osteoarthritis. Of note, the serum lipidome profile at the preclinical phase of RA closely mimicked that of active RA. Specifically, alterations in a set of lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylcholine, ether-linked phosphatidylethanolamine, and sphingomyelin subclasses correlated with RA activity, reflecting treatment responses to anti-rheumatic drugs when monitored serially. Collectively, these results suggest that analysis of lipidome profiles is useful for identifying biomarker candidates that predict the evolution of preclinical to definitive RA and could facilitate the assessment of disease activity and treatment outcomes.
