Clinical and biological factors associated with the presence of peripheral neuropathy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

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
Objective: Immune dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a contributing factor to the development of peripheral neuropathy (PN). The objective of our study was to investigate the biological and clinical factors associated with PN in patients with RA. Materials and methods: We conducted a retro-prospective cross-sectional study. A total of 63 patients with RA were included. They were divided into two groups, 18 with PN and 45 without PN. Participants with PN were those with a pathological electroneuromyogram (ENMG) with or without signs and symptoms of PN. Blood samples were taken for the measurement of rheumatoid factor (RF) and C-reactive protein (CRP). The concentration of anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) were collected from patient records. The significance threshold was set at a Results: The majority of participants, 82.5% were female. The mean age was 51.86 ± 13.07 years. PN was present in 28.6% of the participants. RF and ACPA were positive in 71.4 and 77.8% of the participants, respectively. Severely active RA was significantly associated with the presence of PN ( Conclusion: Severe rheumatoid arthritis is associated with PN. Inflammatory markers may play a key role in the pathogenesis and may provide valuable guidance for the early diagnosis of PN in RA.
