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

With the advent of biological therapies, considerable progress has been made in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These revolutionary therapies owe their origin to the role that cytokines play in the pathophysiology of the disease and are best exemplified by the wide use of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockade. The identification of additional pro-inflammatory factors and an understanding of their effector function now offer major possibilities for the generation of additional novel biological therapeutics to address unmet clinical needs. Such interventions will ideally fulfill several of the following criteria: control of inflammation, modulation of underlying immune dysfunction by promoting the reestablishment of immune tolerance, protection of targeted tissues such as bone and cartilage, and preservation of host immune capability to avoid profound immune suppression and amelioration of co-morbidity associated with underlying RA. The identification and characterization of the intracellular signaling pathways, in particular, the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, the nuclear factor-κB pathway and the cross-talk between these pathways offer several potential therapeutic opportunities. This review will provide an update on cytokine activities and signal transduction pathways that represent, in our opinion, optimal utility as future therapeutic targets.
