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.

Abstract

objectivePrimary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the exocrine gland, especially in women. Currently, the results of studies on the menstruation or fertility of pSS patients remain controversial. This study aimed to examine the menstrual and reproductive characteristics of pSS patients.

methodsClinical data of 449 pSS patients who were admitted to Tongji Hospital in Hubei, China, from January 2015 to November 2021 were obtained and their menstrual and reproductive information analyzed. In addition, the clinical features of pSS patients with premenopausal or postmenopausal onset were compared.

resultsThe spontaneous abortion rate of pSS patients was not higher than the reported rate of the general population and that the age of menarche, menstrual cycle, and menstrual period of pSS patients did not significantly differ from those reported in the general population; however, early menopause seemed to be more common in pSS patients. Skin involvement (27.96% vs. 15.00%, P=0.005) and hyperglobulinemia (10.64% vs. 4.16%, P=0.033) were more common in patients with premenopausal pSS onset, but patients with postmenopausal onset had a significantly greater incidence of interstitial lung disease (32.50% vs. 17.02%, P=0.0004). Also, erythropenia (47.00% vs. 31.25%, P=0.002), hypoalbuminemia (19.49% vs. 8.22%, P=0.0009), and prevalence of high hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels (21.67% vs. 10.94%, P=0.005) were more common in pSS patients with postmenopausal onset. Notably, the rate of abnormal pregnancy was significantly greater in patients with premenopausal onset (9.72% vs. 2.50%, P=0.011).

conclusionPatients with pSS onset before or after menopause may have different risks in pulmonary involvement and laboratory manifestations.
