Lupus in women: what the research reports, and who it studied

An autoimmune condition that overwhelmingly affects women. Review how consistently studies analyse sex.

As of 7 July 2026, OpenAlex indexes about 70,000 works matching "systemic lupus erythematosus women". FemHealth searches PubMed, Europe PMC, OpenAlex and ClinicalTrials.gov together and shows, on every result, how many of those studies actually report who was included by sex.

What FemHealth shows you

Most medical databases tell you what a study found. FemHealth also tells you who it studied: how many women were included where the abstract reports it, whether outcomes were analysed by sex, and whether pregnant or breastfeeding people were excluded, each labelled with where the data came from.
