Association of Antiphospholipid Antibodies with Clinical Manifestations in Children with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies on the clinical and laboratory manifestations, disease activity and outcomes of the disease in patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE).
methodsWe conducted a 10-year cross-sectional study with a retrospective analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters and outcome of the disease (kidney, nervous system involvement, thrombosis). For the purpose of the study, patients were divided into cohort groups based on the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLA), named the aPLA positive group, or their absence, named the aPLA negative group. Values of aPLA were defined in reference laboratories. The disease activity was measured by the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score, whereas tissue damage degree was measured by Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology-Damage Index (SLICC/ACR DI; SDI; DI).
resultsResearch in our center showed that patients with cSLE often had hematological, cutaneous, and non-thrombotic neurological manifestations. Antiphospholipid antibodies may be present transiently or permanently. A significant change in the titer value was observed in the IgG isotype of aCLA. The presence of higher values of IgM β2GP1 at the beginning indicates that higher disease activity can be expected. Higher disease activity correlates with greater tissue damage. Additionally, it has been shown that aPLA positive patients have two and a half times higher risk of tissue damage than aPLA negative ones.
conclusionOur study shows that the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with childhood onset systemic lupus erythematosus may indicate a higher risk of tissue damage, but since it is a rare disease in childhood, prospective and multicenter studies are necessary to assess the importance of the presence of these antibodies.
