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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder which can lead to long-term joint damage and significantly reduced quality of life if not promptly diagnosed and adequately treated. Despite significant advances in treatment, about 40% of patients with RA do not respond to individual pharmacological agents and up to 20% do not respond to any of the available medications. To address this large unmet clinical need, several recent studies have focussed on an in-depth histological and molecular characterisation of the synovial tissue to drive the application of precision medicine to RA. Currently, RA patients are clinically divided into "seropositive" or "seronegative" RA, depending on the presence of routinely checked antibodies. Recent work has suggested that over the last two decades, long-term outcomes have improved significantly in seropositive RA but not in seronegative RA. Here, we present up-to-date differences in epidemiology, clinical features, and serological biomarkers in seronegative versus seropositive RA and discuss how histological and molecular synovial signatures, revealed by recent large synovial biopsy-based clinical trials, may be exploited to refine the classification of RA patients, especially in the seronegative group.
