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

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with clinical and laboratory characteristics influenced by the age of onset. Despite its significance, data on late-onset SLE (Lo-SLE) compared to early-onset SLE (Eo-SLE) remain limited, particularly in the Polish population. We investigated differences between Lo-SLE and Eo-SLE patients (using 50 years as a cutoff), aiming to improve the diagnosis and management of SLE patients across different age groups. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records from all SLE patients treated at the University Hospital in Krakow, Poland, from 2012 to 2022. All included patients met the 2019 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology and American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for SLE. Results: We analyzed 710 patients with Eo-SLE (77.9%) and 201 patients with Lo-SLE (22.1%). Compared to the Eo-SLE group, the Lo-SLE group exhibited shorter disease duration ( Conclusions: Late-onset SLE patients exhibit different disease manifestations but with a higher prevalence of interstitial lung disease, internal medicine comorbidities, malignancies, and cardiovascular events compared to Eo-SLE. Our findings highlight the need for tailored management strategies in elderly SLE patients.
