Diabetes mellitus in rheumatic diseases: clinical characteristics and treatment considerations.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
New pathophysiological insights are now available on comorbidities in rheumatic diseases (RDs). Several nationwide studies point to the fact that comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with various RDs. Genetic factors, intensity of systemic inflammation, anti-inflammatory potential of therapeutic agents, and duration of RDs have been insufficiently explored in the context of comorbidities. Some disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have demonstrated a potential to improve the glycemic control while glucocorticoids (GCs) have worsened it, particularly in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-TNFalpha agents in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have been associated with a reduced risk of DM in patients with RA, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Sjögren syndrome (SS), and SLE. Better understanding of confounding factor of currently available antirheumatic therapies in patients with DM and RDs will pave the way for a tailored approach, limiting the severity of clinical manifestations and reducing the mortality risk.
