Patients with autoimmune chronic inflammatory diseases present increased biomarkers of thromboinflammation and endothelial dysfunction in the absence of flares and cardiovascular comorbidities.
Article in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cardiovascular risk is increased in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Endothelial, erythrocyte and platelet microvesicles (MVs) are elevated in patients with cardiovascular diseases and represent novel markers of endothelial dysfunction and thromboinflammation. We tested whether their levels are increased in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) in the absence of disease flare and cardiovascular comorbidities. Well-controlled patients with rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus were studied, provided they were free from cardiovascular comorbidities and established cardiovascular disease. We additionally studied (a) a control group consisting of healthy volunteers and (b) a reference group including patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). MVs were measured using a standardized flow cytometry protocol. In a population of 74 participants, patients with ARDs (n = 17) presented increased levels of both endothelial (283.3 ± 195.0/μL vs 168.5 ± 54.8/μL, p = 0.029) and platelet MVs (374.0 ± 275.3/μL vs 225.7 ± 101.1/μL, p = 0.046) compared to controls (n = 34), whereas erythrocyte MVs did not significantly differ. In addition, patients with ARDs showed similar levels of endothelial MVs compared to CAD patients (n = 23) (283.3 ± 195.0/μL vs 297.0 ± 211.8/μL, p = 0.846). Platelet MVs were significantly associated with disease duration, and erythrocyte MVs with patients' perceived disease activity. In conclusion, increased levels of endothelial and platelet MVs may be evident in patients with ARDs, even in the absence of disease flares and before the establishment of cardiovascular complications. Levels of endothelial MVs resemble those of patients with profound atherothrombotic profile. The prognostic potential of MVs in terms of cardiovascular disease prevention warrants further investigation in patients with ARDs.
