Clinical characteristics of peripheral neuropathy and risk factors in rheumatoid arthritis patients: A retrospective study.
Observational study in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To examine the clinical features and possible risk factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with peripheral neuropathy (PN). This study retrospectively analyzed data from 183 RA patients using electronic medical records from January 2018 to December 2022 at Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Among them, 8 patients exhibited involvement of multiple mononeuropathy, and 24 patients showed involvement of a single neuropathy. The study compared characteristics between RA patients with and without PN and investigated potential risk factors for PN. Patients with PN were found to be older (P < .05) compared to those without PN, particularly in multiple mononeuropathy patients. The most common symptoms of PN were pain (53.13%) and numbness (46.88%), followed by fatigue (15.63%) and burning sensations (12.50%). Electromyography results indicated that 84.38% of patients with PN experienced both sensory and motor impairment, 3.13% had only motor impairment, and 12.50% had only sensory impairment. Carpal tunnel syndrome was observed in 34.38% of patients with PN. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed age (P = .044) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody level (P = .049) as significant predictors of PN in RA patients. Age and anti-CCP antibody levels emerged as risk factors for PN. PN typically manifests as peripheral nerve symptoms like pain and numbness in RA patients, with a higher incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome.
