Risks and Management of Glucocorticoid Therapy for Patients with Rheumatic Disease Having Surgery.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review was to identify and characterize the diverse risks and benefits of glucocorticoid use in the perioperative period in patients with rheumatic diseases. RECENT
findingsGlucocorticoids increase the risk of surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, pneumonia, unplanned intubation and readmissions. The risk of perioperative adrenal insufficiency is rare. Guidelines specifically for knee and hip arthroplasties do not recommend stress dosing of steroids. Continuation of home doses of glucocorticoids is adequate for most patients. Stress dosing of glucocorticoids should be reserved for patients with biochemically confirmed adrenal dysfunction or are receiving supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids going for moderate to high-risk surgeries.
