Incidence of Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Is Estimation Currently Possible?
Article in European journal of rheumatology, 2023. 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
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by vascular thrombosis and/or obstetric events in association with persistently elevated antiphospholipid antibodies. Antiphospholipid syndrome is typically considered a rare disease, but the true incidence is uncertain owing to the diverse antiphospholipid antibody-related clinical manifestations, inconsistent definitions of antiphospholipid antibody positivity, under-recognition of the disease, and limited population-based studies. Published estimates of the incidence of antiphospholipid syndrome range from approximately 2 to 80 per 100 000 person-years. A targeted literature review and applied methodology were performed to derive a best available estimate. Significant limitations of the published literature were observed, some of which have been previously reported. The incidence of antiphospholipid syndrome in the United States was estimated to be approximately 7.1 to 13.7 per 100 000 person-years in the general population. Although this estimate is likely more accurate than previously reported estimates, large, contemporary, population-based studies that reasonably adhere to the antiphospholipid syndrome classification criteria are needed to further refine estimates of the incidence of antiphospholipid syndrome.
