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

objectiveTo analyze the characteristics of lipid profile and the risk factors of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

methodsSubjects with 216 RA and 214 healthy controls, both without known cardiovascular disease (CVD), were included. CAS plaques were determined by color Doppler ultrasound. Lipid levels were compared between RA patients and healthy controls, and independent risk factors for CAS plaques in the RA patients were analyzed.

results(1) The total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were lower (

conclusionPatients with RA are more likely to exhibit lipid metabolic abnormalities which are mainly manifested as low cholesterol levels (TC, LDL-C, HDL-C) and high lipid ratios (TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C). Such disordered lipid profileis are associated with gender, inflammatory and drug therapy. Age, disease duration, inflammatory status, and diabetes are independent risk factors for CAS plaques in RA patients. Effective control of inflammatory status are important goals of RA management and may also be essential to delay the progression of atherosclerosis.
