A positive autoantibody, an abnormal capillary, an elevated inflammatory index, or a new symptom can draw a clinician's attention. Each may be meaningful; none tells the whole story on its own. Rheumatology depends on recognizing patterns across organs and over time, while remaining alert to findings that challenge the apparent diagnosis. The articles in this issue approach that task from different directions. Together, they ask how we can make better use of measurements, identify overlooked disease burden, and avoid allowing a plausible explanation to become the only explanation.
