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

Objectives: To examine ethnic differences in LLDAS attainment and lupus nephritis (LN) in SLE patients from the Auckland, New Zealand (NZ) cohort of the Asia Pacific Lupus Collaboration (APLC) treat-to-target (T2T) Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) study. Secondary outcomes were to explore ethnic differences in medication use, SLE damage and patient-reported health outcomes. Methods: All patients fulfilled either the 1997 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for SLE or Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics 2012 classification criteria. At each study visit, patients were assessed for LLDAS attainment, flares and medication use and assessed annually for SLE damage and patient-reported health outcomes. Results: A total of 141 patients from three Auckland tertiary hospitals were analysed during 2018-2020. Seventy-five percent ( Conclusion: This is the first NZ study to provide prospective data on SLE disease outcomes. The majority of patients were able to achieve LLDAS. There were ethnic differences in proliferative LN with overrepresentation in non-NZ European ethnic groups.
