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

To provide insight into the pharmacological changes in the peripheral blood (PB) molecular profile induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-blockade in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), blood was obtained in PAXgene tubes from 33 RA patients before and 1 month after TNF-blocking therapy (infliximab). From 15 randomly chosen patients pre- and post-treatment gene expression profiles were determined. The remaining 18 RA patients served as validation cohort. A group-based paired analysis of the gene expression profiles from the post- vs pre-treatment samples revealed a signature of genes significantly regulated by TNF-blockade. Downregulated genes reflected several biological pathways such as inflammation, angiogenesis, B- and T-cell activation. Further analysis revealed that the pharmacological response signature was significantly regulated in all treated patients, irrespective of clinical response, which is indicative for the presence of an active TNF pathway in all RA patients. The data imply that all patients carried features of TNF bioactivity irrespective of clinical response. These results favor a model for the parallel presence of TNF-dependent and TNF-independent pathways in the individual RA patient. Clinical response status to TNF-blockade may be dependent on the relative contribution of TNF-independent effector pathways.
