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

Introduction: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is associated with an increased prevalence of traditional risk factors and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The study aimed to identify specific risk factors for CVD in pSS patients. Methods: PSS patients with and without CVD were compared. All patients fulfilled the EULAR/ACR classification criteria. Patients with CVD presented at least one of the following manifestations: myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attacks, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, and carotid plaques. Data were collected by a standardized protocol and review of medical records. Results: 61/312 (19.6%) pSS patients presented with CVD. Traditional risk factors such as hypertension, hypercholesterinemia and diabetes ( Conclusion: Raynaud's phenomen as well as vasculitis and high ESSDAI have shown a significant association to CVD. PSS patients with cerebrovascular events were younger than expected. Knowledge about risk factors may help clinicians to identify pSS patients at risk for CVD. After diagnosis of pSS, patients should be screened for risk factors such as hypertension and receive appropriate therapy to prevent or at least reduce sequelae such as infarction. However, further investigations are necessary in order to achieve a reliable risk stratification for these patients.
