Evaluation of the EULAR/American College of Rheumatology Classification Criteria for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a Population-Based Registry.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2023. 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
objectiveUsing the Manhattan Lupus Surveillance Program, a multiracial/ethnic population-based registry, we aimed to compare 3 commonly used classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to identify unique cases and determine the incidence and prevalence of SLE using the EULAR/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria.
methodsSLE cases were defined as fulfilling the 1997 ACR, the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC), or the EULAR/ACR classification criteria. We quantified the number of cases uniquely associated with each and the number fulfilling all 3 criteria. Prevalence and incidence using the EULAR/ACR classification criteria and associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated.
resultsA total of 1,497 cases fulfilled at least 1 of the 3 classification criteria, with 1,008 (67.3%) meeting all 3 classifications, 138 (9.2%) fulfilling only the SLICC criteria, 35 (2.3%) fulfilling only the 1997 ACR criteria, and 34 (2.3%) uniquely fulfilling the EULAR/ACR criteria. Patients solely satisfying the EULAR/ACR criteria had <4 manifestations. The majority classified only by the 1997 ACR criteria did not meet any of the defined immunologic criteria. Patients fulfilling only the SLICC criteria did so based on the presence of features unique to this system. Using the EULAR/ACR classification criteria, age-adjusted overall prevalence and incidence rates of SLE in Manhattan were 59.6 (95% CI 55.9-63.4) and 4.9 (95% CI 4.3-5.5) per 100,000 population, with age-adjusted prevalence and incidence rates highest among non-Hispanic Black female patients.
conclusionApplying the 3 commonly used classification criteria to a population-based registry identified patients with SLE fulfilling only 1 validated definition. The most recently developed EULAR/ACR classification criteria revealed prevalence and incidence estimates similar to those previously established for the ACR and SLICC classification schemes.
