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

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists are approved worldwide for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Clinical experience revealed that TNF-blocking therapy is effective for only approximately two thirds of patients, reflecting that there are 'responders' as well as 'nonresponders'. Given the destructive nature of RA, the risk of adverse effects, and considerable costs for therapy, there is a strong need to make predictions on success before the start of therapy. In the current issue of Arthritis Research & Therapy, Hueber and colleagues become the first to present a multi-parameter serum protein biomarker set that has predictive value prior to the start of anti-TNF treatment. Ultimately, this finding may contribute to a personalized form of medicine, whereby a specific therapy will be applied that is best suited to an individual patient.
