Age of onset of rheumatoid arthritis and radiographic changes.
Article 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 4 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
objectivesThe association between age of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) onset and joint erosions remains unclear. We investigated the effects of age of RA onset on incident joint erosion and the progression of radiographic findings.
methodsPatients diagnosed with RA within 2 years of enrollment in a large single-center RA registry were included. The age of RA onset was categorized into young- (≤44 years of age), middle- (45-65), and late-onset (≥66). Modified total Sharp scores (mTSS) were obtained at baseline, year 2, and year 5, and incident joint erosion was defined as an erosion score >0. Adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of incident joint erosions and adjusted change in mTSS by age category were evaluated over a 5-year follow-up period.
resultsAmong 1,581 participants with RA, 284 patients within 2 years of RA diagnosis were identified. The mean mTSS were 0.54 in the young-, 3.12 in the middle-, and 4.77 in the late-onset group. The aOR of incident joint erosion in the middle-, aOR 4.0 (95 % CI 2.2 - 7.5), and the late-onset groups, 8.2 (95 % CI 3.6 - 19.2), were elevated compared with the young-onset group. Compared with the young-onset group, the adjusted changes in mTSS in the middle- group, 2.8 (95 % CI 0.20 - 5.4), and the late-onset groups, 1.9 (95 % CI -0.26 - 4.1), were elevated.
conclusionThe odds of incident joint erosion and change in the mTSS were increased among patients with later RA onset. Age of RA onset should be considered when determining optimal management strategies.
