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

Objective: This study aimed to develop and externally validate a clinical risk identification model for prevalent rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) using multicenter Chinese patient cohorts. We also evaluated the discriminative value of Methods: A multicenter, two-phase design was adopted. A total of 446 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from five medical centers were retrospectively enrolled in the discovery phase. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors associated with RA-ILD and to construct a clinical risk identification model. A total of 238 patients with RA from three medical centers were then prospectively recruited for the validation phase and genotyped for Results: In the discovery phase, smoking history (odds ratio [OR] = 2.00, P = 0.045), elevated rheumatoid factor (RF) (OR = 1.10 per 10 IU/mL, P = 0.037), a higher 28-joint disease activity score (DAS28) (OR = 1.20, P = 0.023), elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) (OR = 3.70, P = 0.002), elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR = 1.13 per 10 U L, P < 0.001), and disease duration of ≥ 24 months (OR = 1.73, P = 0.029) were identified as independent risk factors for RA-ILD. Our clinical risk identification model yielded an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.785 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74-0.83). In the prospective validation cohort, we identified a novel association between Conclusions: This multicenter study validated a clinical risk identification model for RA-ILD. We identified a novel association between
