1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of a combination of anti-extractable nuclear antigens (anti-ENA) antibodies, anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA), and anti-β2-glycoprotein 1 (anti-β2 GPI) antibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: A total of 646 SLE patients diagnosed in our hospital between January 2020 and April 2023 were randomly selected as study subjects, while 2075 non-SLE subjects during the same period were selected as the control group. The levels of anti-extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) antibody, ACA, and anti-β2 GPI antibodies were measured, and their diagnostic value for SLE was analyzed using binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: The rates of positive anti-RNP, anti-Sm, anti-Sjögren's syndrome (SS-A), and anti-SS-B antibodies in the SLE patient group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with all differences being statistically significant (P < 0.01). The rates of positive ACA, as well as the levels of ACA IgA, ACA IgG, and ACA IgM, were significantly higher in the SLE patients group compared to the control group, with statistically differences (P < 0.05). Similarly, the rates of positive anti-β2 GPI antibodies, anti-β2 GPI antibody IgA, IgG, and IgM, were significantly higher in the SLE patient group compared to the control group, with all differences being statistically significant (P < 0.01). Gender, age, positive anti-JO1 antibodies, positive anti-RNP antibodies, positive anti-SS-A antibodies, positive ACA, high level ACA IgG and ACA IgM, positive anti-β2 GPI antibodies, and high level of anti-β2 GPI antibody IgA were identified as independent risk factors for the development of SLE (P < 0.05). The combined use of age, sex, anti-ENA antibodies, ACA, and anti-β2 GPI antibodies yielded a sensitivity of 82.12% (80.41%-83.71%) and a specificity of 80.03% (76.77%-82.93%) for the diagnosis of SLE. Conclusion: The combination of age, sex, anti-ENA antibodies, ACA, and anti-β2 GPI antibodies shows high diagnostic value for SLE and holds potential for clinical application as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for SLE.
