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

objectivesAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterised by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and clinical outcomes of thrombosis and/or obstetric morbidity and is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). IgG antiphosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (aPS/PT), IgM aPS/PT and IgG anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1-domain 1 (aβ2GP1-D1) are novel aPLs that have been associated with thrombosis; however, conclusive data are still lacking. It remains unclear how best to incorporate non-criteria autoantibodies into clinical decision-making. The aim of this study was to assess whether these novel aPLs were associated with an increased risk of thrombosis in patients with SLE.

methodsWe evaluated 341 patients enrolled in the SouThern Alberta Registry for Lupus EryThematosus database with SLE by the American College of Rheumatology or Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics classification criteria. Medical records were reviewed between March 2006 and January 2021 for thrombotic events and serology results for lupus anticoagulant, IgG anticardiolipin, IgG anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (aβ2GP1), IgG aPS/PT, IgM aPS/PT and IgG aβ2GP1-D1.

resultsAmong 341 patients with SLE, 59 (17%) met the revised Sapporo lab criteria, and of those 29 (49%) had a major thrombotic event (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.9 to 6.3). Among 142 patients who had at least one positive non-criteria autoantibody, 45 (32%) had a major thrombotic event (OR 1.6, 95% CI 0.97 to 2.6). In a univariate analysis, the IgG aPS/PT and IgG aβ2GP1-D1 were associated with major and all thrombotic events. In a multivariate analysis that controlled for age, sex, prednisone use, SLE disease activity (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2K and the revised Sapporo lab criteria, among the non-criteria aPLs, only IgG aPS/PT was associated with an increased risk of a major thrombosis (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.5).

conclusionsIn our multivariate analysis, IgG aPS/PT was associated with a modestly increased risk of thrombotic events.
