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 a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects synovial joints and is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. This association is only partially attributed to the presence of classic CV disease risk factors, and is strongly associated with characteristics of disease itself namely systemic chronic inflammation and autoimmune activation. Growing evidence suggests that microvascular endothelial dysfunction contributes to the initiation and progression of vascular disease. Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non-invasive method that evaluates the morphology and the structure of nailfold capillaries. Extension of this method is the Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy (NVC), which provides the possibility of combining functional and anatomical study of peripheral microcirculation. The present cross-sectional study aims to evaluate using NVC the peripheral microcirculation in adult patients with RA and investigate the associations between structural and functional indices of digital capillaries with markers of atherosclerosis.
