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

The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) is an international research group dedicated to promoting collaboration among scientific investigators in the study of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Currently, most SLICC members are based in North America and Europe, with limited representation from other regions. SLICC recognises the importance of expanding its global collaborations and representation to ensure that its research accurately reflects the global burden of SLE and provides equal benefit to all patients with SLE worldwide. Given that SLICC currently lacks representation from the African continent, an opportunity was identified to convene a meeting bringing together lupus physicians with experience providing clinical care and conducting lupus research in Africa, along with members of the SLICC group. The purpose of the meeting was to share information regarding SLE in Africa, to discuss recent innovations and current challenges in the region and to explore future collaborations between SLICC members and colleagues in Africa in the areas of SLE clinical care, research and education. This meeting report highlights information presented during the seminar as well as a discussion of next steps moving forward.
