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

Most published results have revealed variations in the association of serum/plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study was performed to establish MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL levels in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Electronic databases were searched for the included articles up to 27th February 2023. The meta-analysis included 48 articles with 2358 SLE patients and 2126 healthy controls considered for MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL levels. There were significantly higher MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL levels in SLE patients than those in the control groups. Subgroup analysis indicated that European/American SLE patients and patients of both ages <36 and ≥36 exhibited higher MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL levels. Arab and Asian SLE patients had higher ApoB and MDA/OxLDL levels. African SLE patients recorded higher OxLDL levels than the control groups. SLE patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥23 and a disease duration of <10 recorded significantly higher MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL levels. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) ≥8 of SLE had higher MDA and ApoB levels, whereas SLE patients with SLEDAI <8 showed significantly higher ApoB levels. Patients with BMI <23 of SLE had higher MDA and OxLDL levels. This study established significantly higher MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL levels in SLE patients, suggesting a possible role of MDA, ApoB, and OxLDL in the disease.
