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

We have demonstrated, by using a T-cell transfer murine colitis model, that blocking interleukin 6 (IL-6) signaling with monoclonal antibody (mAb) to IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) abrogated apoptosis resistance of lamina propria T cells, suppressed the expression of vascular adhesion molecules, and successfully prevented and treated intestinal inflammation. Based on these results, we carried out an exploratory clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of humanized anti-IL-6R mAb, MRA, in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The results were promising, with 80% of the patients given every-2-week MRA infusions for 12 weeks showing a significantly higher clinical response rate as compared to 31% of the placebo-treated patients. Twenty percent of the patients on this regimen went into remission as compared to 0% of the placebo group. The acute-phase responses were normalized by a single MRA infusion, which strongly suggests IL-6 is the major cytokine responsible for their production in CD.
