Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthropathy on ANTI-TNF-ALPHA Therapy.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Videocapillaroscopy is a simple, non-invasive investigation that allows the "in vivo" study of the nailfold capillaries. This method is inexpensive, easily accepted by patients and the results can be easily interpreted. It is mainly used in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis, but this examination can also be performed on patients who are suspected of having microcirculation alterations, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. It may aid in the diagnosis, evaluation and prognosis of other rheumatic diseases, besides systemic sclerosis. The aim of this study is to identify the nailfold videocapillaroscopic abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis patients and analyze the correlation between their evolution and 12 months of anti-TNF-α therapy. The abnormal capillaroscopic findings comprised widened, dilated or giant capillaries and the distortion of the normal nailfold architecture, avascular areas, hemorrhages and neoangiogenesis. Overall, capillary density, dilated capillaries, giant capillaries, elongated capillaries and angiogenesis significantly improved after 12 months. Moreover, no avascular areas were found after 12 months of anti-TNF treatment.
