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

Progress in our understanding of the genetics and immunology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has translated into clinical practice with the introduction of a first generation of biologic agents that effectively interfere with the inflammatory cascade by blocking a key component. This evolution has not only changed the way we practice, but perhaps also the way we think about RA and its treatment. In our view direct manipulation of specific pathogenic pathways is increasingly being used to replace generalized pharmacological immune suppression. The next leap forward will be to develop therapeutic approaches that will lead to maintenance of disease remission with a minimal-treatment or even drug-free regimen, relying on the induction of immune tolerance rather than the suppression of the immune system. Immune tolerance has the potential to prevent tissue damage secondary to inflammatory responses while at the same time maintaining homeostasis through physiologic recognition of self and the ability to perceive and react to 'danger'. Novel therapeutic approaches are emerging from these concepts. Such therapies will hopefully be safe and efficacious, and will complement the first generation of biologic agents that are currently available.
