In one paragraph

Review in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

In the context of holistic therapeutic practices, the cardiovascular risk of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) needs to be addressed as a major factor of compromised disease prognosis and increased mortality. The elevated prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by more than twofold in RA has been attributed, inter alia, to chronic inflammation exacerbating arterial stiffness, increased onset of hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus, sedentary lifestyle, and antirheumatic drug complications. CVD risk in RA can be currently assessed by practitioners through accessible adapted calculators, but it remains problematic as their diagnostic accuracy is not superior to calculators designed for the general population. Implementation of guideline-oriented personalised interventions remains the cornerstone for cardiovascular risk management in RA. Remarkably, there is lack of a consortium that brings together different health care providers engaged in the care of patients with RA (e.g., rheumatologists, cardiologists, general practitioners, etc), to guide cardiovascular risk assessment and management. This narrative review aims at providing an overview of current CVD risk assessment and management options, highlighting their pivotal role in the comprehensive treatment of RA patients.
