Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis in an Elderly Patient With Anemia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Anemia due to chronic inflammation reduces the quality of life in the elderly population. Various causes of chronic inflammation exist, and the elderly experience varying symptoms, making it challenging to investigate the cause. The risk of chronic inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune diseases, and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increase with age. Here, we report a case of seronegative RA in an 88-year-old woman who was referred for a detailed examination of chronic inflammation and anemia. Although she had no chief complaint, a physical examination revealed bilateral symmetric polyarthritis. After ruling out other diseases based on blood culture findings, the patient was diagnosed with seronegative RA. She was successfully treated with prednisolone and methotrexate, and her anemia improved. She also attributed the anemia to a chronic inflammatory pattern of seronegative RA. Appropriate physical examination is important for older adults with various complaints, and anemia may precede arthritis during the clinical course of RA. Additionally, inflammation may progress rapidly in these individuals.
