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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototype of autoimmune diseases and can manifest with a plethora of clinical signs and symptoms associated with a myriad of laboratory abnormalities. An infrequent but potentially lethal complication of SLE is macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). The diagnosis of MAS in SLE can be very challenging due to similarities in presentation of both flares and infections, such as fever, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and cytopenias. These aggravating factors contribute to the increased risk of poor outcomes in SLE-associated MAS. Indeed, at the moment MAS remains invariably lethal if untreated and still has a high mortality rate with treatment. In this chapter, we discuss several aspects of MAS in the context of SLE and in particular, the pathogenesis of MAS in SLE, how MAS presents in pediatric versus adult SLE, and, finally, MAS treatment in SLE and future directions.
