Clinical features and prognostic factors of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in Chinese patients.

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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to investigate clinical features and prognostic factors of antimelanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5)-positive dermatomyositis with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) in Chinese patients.
methodsClinical features and prognostic factors of patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent dermatomyositis patients were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into the anti-MDA5-positive or negative dermatomyositis, and with or without RP-ILD groups. Clinical features and prognostic factors were statistically compared among different groups.
resultsThe serum ferritin (SF) levels (1500.0 [658.80, 1844.0]) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) (125.5 [61.0, 232.0] vs. 28 [16.0, 41.0], Z = 5.528; p < .001) were markedly higher, and phosphocreatine myoenzyme (CK) (73.0 [42.0, 201.0] vs. 1333.0 [79.0, 8000.0], Z = -2.739, p = .006), serum albumin level (32.51 ± 5.23 vs. 35.81 ± 5.88, t = -2.542, p = .013), and lymphocyte count (0.80 ± 0.36 vs. 1.45 ± 0.77, t = -4.717, p < .001) were lower than those in anti-MDA5-negative counterparts. Among patients with anti-MDA5 antibody (Ab) with RP-ILD, the SF level (1531.0 [1163.8, 2016.5] vs. 584.9 [564.8, 1042.5], Z = 2.664, p = .008), γ-GT (134.0 [81.0, 204.5] vs. 123.0 [76.0, 189.0], Z = 3.136, p = .002) and positive rate of anti-RO-52 Ab (90.9% vs. 50.0%, χ
conclusionsAnti-MDA5-positive dermatomyositis patients are prone to developing RP-ILD. Declined lymphocyte count is a critical risk factor for RP-ILD, probably acting as a simple and effective predictor for Chinese patients with anti-MDA5-positive dermatomyositis.
