The Veterans Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry: A unique population in rheumatoid arthritis research.
Review in Seminars in arthritis and rheumatism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundAs the largest integrated healthcare system in the U.S., the Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a unique context for the conduct of clinical and clinical-translational research in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
objectivesTo review attributes of the VA Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry (RA) and highlight its research contributions.
findingsWith >3,600 participants enrolled from 19 VA medical centers across the U.S., VARA includes longitudinally collected clinical data and a central biorepository that includes serum, plasma, and DNA collected at enrollment. VARA research capacity is enhanced via active linkages with internal data including the VA's Corporate Data Warehouse and elements captured during oncology care. This capacity is further enabled via active linkages with the National Death Index and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data.
conclusionAs a highly unique study population with comprehensive data annotation available to researchers, VARA is poised to continue address impactful questions in RA for years to come.
