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

Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) confer an increased cardiovascular risk beyond traditional factors, with peripheral artery disease (PAD) being an important source of morbidity and disability in these patients. This review summarizes current evidence on PAD across RMDs, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, psoriatic arthritis, and primary Sjögren's syndrome. Physiopathological mechanisms involved include persistent inflammation, immune dysregulation, and the presence of pathogenic autoantibodies. Protective humoral responses have also been linked to reduced CV risk and may serve as future biomarkers. Clinical studies reveal variable PAD prevalence across diseases but consistent high underdiagnosis. Optimal management requires aggressive CV risk control, including lipid-lowering, immunomodulatory, and biologic therapies. This review underscores PAD as a distinct and clinically relevant manifestation of systemic autoimmunity, calling for targeted screening and prevention strategies in rheumatic populations.
