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

This study measured sociodemographic characteristics, dietary habits, lifestyle habits, genetics, and other factors that may contribute to the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Independent risk factors for RA were identified by logistic regression analysis, and a prediction model was constructed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model, and the calibration of the model was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. A total of 432 participants, comprising 216 healthy individuals and 216 patients diagnosed with RA at two hospitals in Sichuan, China, from March 2022 to January 2023 were included in this study. Logistic regression analysis revealed that occupation type, place of residence, history of mumps, dietary combination, sweet, damp dwelling, fish, vaccine history, and rs805297 were significantly associated with the pathogenesis of RA. The model constructed in this study showed good prediction, with an AUC of 0.912. The Youden index was 0.699, the sensitivity was 0.847 and the specificity was 0.852. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test results (χ
