Discordance Between Patients and Physicians on Key Determinants of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Burden: Insights From a French Comprehensive Survey.
Article in ACR open rheumatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo assess differences in perception between patients and physicians regarding the determinants of the burden of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in France.
methodsAn online survey was conducted by IPSOS, a market research company, among adult patients with SLE and physicians (internists, rheumatologists, nephrologists, and dermatologists) involved in SLE care. The questionnaires were designed by a committee of lupus experts and patient research partners to cover key areas: symptoms experienced by patients with SLE, social and economic impact of the disease, and needs and expectations for the improvement of care pathways. Most questions were formulated to assess comparatively how they were perceived by patients and physicians.
resultsResponses from 107 patients and 101 physicians were analyzed. Regarding experienced symptoms, a patient-physician discordance was observed on the number of reported symptoms (P < 0.001) and in terms of prioritization, especially with the impact of extreme fatigue (76% vs 51%; P < 0.001) and anxiety and depression (45% vs 13%; P < 0.001), even outside flare-up periods. Physicians rarely reported that SLE significantly impacts all areas of their patients' lives, including physical, psychological, social, professional, sexual, and emotional aspects, whereas most patients expressed a lack of medical advice on areas such as sexual and emotional health, family life, professional life, and anxiety. Most patients also declared a perceived lack of information about treatment adverse effects, available therapeutic options, and potential causes of SLE.
conclusionThis survey highlights the significant patient-physician discordances about the burden of SLE in France and supports the need for specific interventions to improve patient information and holistic care.
