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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesOur aim was to validate the performance of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), published in 2023, in an APS cohort.

methodsA total of 193 patients, 83 with APS (secondary APS,

resultsIn our cohort, the sensitivity and specificity of the 2023 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for APS were 73% and 94%, respectively (AUC: 0.836, 95% CI: 0.772-0.899), while the sensitivity and specificity of the revised Sapporo criteria were 66% and 98%, respectively (95% CI: 0.756-0.888). The performance of the two sets of criteria in our cohort was significantly consistent and significant (

conclusionsAlthough the newly published criteria broaden the scope of APS classification by including clinical findings other than thrombosis and obstetric criteria, their sensitivity in our cohort was low. On the other hand, we found that the specificity of the criteria in our cohort reached 100% when livedo findings were excluded.
