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

Systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs), like rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, impose significant burdens on patients. This cross-sectional survey explores knowledge sources about SARDs, emotional and practical support from family and peers, and willingness to disclose their condition publicly, particularly through social media, among a Middle Eastern population. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the University Hospital (Abha), the University Hospital (Makkah), and Alhabib Private Hospital (Jeddah), involving 301 adults aged 18 to 50 with SARDs. A structured questionnaire assessed sociodemographic data, clinical information, support systems, and disclosure practices. Data were analyzed using SPSS v25.0 (
