Airways Abnormalities in a Prospective Cohort of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Chest, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects roughly 1% of the population and commonly involves the lungs. Of lung involvement in RA, interstitial lung disease (ILD) is well known; however, airways disease in RA is relatively understudied. RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the baseline airways abnormalities in a prospective cohort of patients with RA based on pulmonary function testing (PFT) results, high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans, and computational imaging analysis and are there associations between these abnormalities and respiratory symptoms? STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsIn this single-center study, 188 patients with RA without a clinical diagnosis of ILD underwent HRCT imaging and PFT. Radiologists assessed HRCT scans for airway abnormalities. Computational imaging via VIDA Vision software and in-house quantitative CT imaging analysis was applied to 147 HRCT scans to quantify airway abnormalities.
resultsAirways obstruction (FEV
interpretationHigh rates of airways abnormalities were found in this prospective RA cohort based on three methods of detection. Significant associations were identified between quantitative CT scan measures and respiratory symptoms. Airways disease may be an underrecognized extra-articular manifestation of RA and quantitative CT imaging may be a sensitive method to detect the clinical impact on respiratory symptoms.
