A Case of Painless Elderly-Onset Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has multiple manifestations. Patients present with a variety of symptoms and varying levels of severity. Elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) is described as RA with onset after 60 years of age. EORA can present with different clinical and laboratory findings compared to RA in a younger patient, making awareness of the condition important. Diagnosing inflammatory arthritis can be especially challenging in an elderly population where symptoms are poorly reported and communication is often difficult. We report the case of an elderly patient whose presentation with persistent tachycardia and raised inflammatory markers led to a diagnosis of EORA. This case details an atypical presentation of EORA with convincing diagnostic features for the disease without any joint symptoms reported. Clinicians should be aware of the differences in the typical presentation of EORA versus RA, the challenges of diagnosing inflammatory arthritis in elderly, isolated patients, and the importance of early diagnosis.
