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

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) leads to worse outcomes in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Few large-scale longitudinal studies have provided comprehensive data on the incidence and risk of ILD in RA compared with non-RA populations. We compare the risk of incident ILD in subjects with RA and matched controls, while also evaluating the impact of RA serologic status. Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service Data between 2010 and 2017, we identified 52,325 individuals with RA and 261,625 without RA. During a median follow-up period of 4.4 years, 3.7% of the RA cohort and 0.5% of the matched cohort developed ILD, with incidence rates of 8.30 and 1.01 per 1,000 person-years. Compared to controls, the risk of incident ILD was significantly higher in the RA cohort (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 7.84 [7.29-8.44]), and seropositive and seronegative RA exhibited aHRs of 9.00 (8.34-9.72) and 4.81 (4.25-5.44). Although the risk of ILD was higher in seropositive RA than seronegative RA, the risk of developing ILD was also higher in subjects with seronegative RA than in matched controls, suggesting that close monitoring for ILD should be performed in this population.
