Association between passive smoking and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical rheumatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
In order to provide a basis for the prevention of RA, this systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the association between passive smoking and the risk of developing RA. We searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Embase, for published literature from the establishment to March 2022. Then we included subject-related cohort studies and case-control studies, and two researchers independently screened and extracted relevant data. Finally, we performed a meta-analysis, cumulative meta-analysis, and dose-response meta-analysis using the Stata software and evaluated the included literature for the level of evidence. This meta-analysis included three case-control and three cohort studies. There was only a small amount of statistical heterogeneity among the studies (I
