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

objectivesSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with vasculitis of varying severity. Conventional ultrasonography faces challenges in accurately assessing this condition, whereas the development of photoacoustic (PA) imaging offers a promising approach. This study aims to evaluate the clinical utility of PA imaging in assessing vasculitis changes in patients with SLE.

methodsA total of 102 patients diagnosed with SLE were enrolled as the case group and subdivided into two subgroups: the non-active group and the active group, according to the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2000) scoring criteria. 35 healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group. PA was performed to measure the oxygen saturation of the bilateral radial arterial wall and perivascular tissues.

results(1) Active SLE patients showed significantly elevated oxygen saturation (SO

conclusionsPhotoacoustic imaging effectively detects the oxygen saturation changes in the radial arterial wall and perivascular tissues in patients with SLE. These findings suggest its potential as a tool for evaluating SLE-related vasculitis.
