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

backgroundPatients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) can present with one or multiple different subtypes of CLE. There is limited understanding of the prevalence and associated risk factors for having multiple CLE subtype diagnoses.

objectiveThis study characterized the frequency and risk factors for having multiple CLE subtypes.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 319 patients with CLE enrolled in the University of Texas Southwestern Cutaneous Lupus Registry seen in outpatient dermatology clinics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Health from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2021. Demographic and clinical information was collected from each subject and compared using univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses.

results59 subjects (18.5%) were diagnosed with two or more CLE subtypes. Univariate analyses identified statistically significant differences in rates of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosis, history of positive anti-nuclear antibody, arthritis, renal disorder, and serositis in patients with multiple CLE subtype diagnoses. In the multivariable analysis, SLE diagnosis was found to be statistically significant.

conclusionsOur study showed that almost one out of five CLE patients have multiple CLE subtypes, with SLE diagnosis being a significant risk factor. Clinicians can monitor CLE patients for developing multiple subtypes and account for systemic manifestations and laboratory abnormalities associated with SLE.
