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

aimInflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are partially attributable to an increased secretion of proinflamatory cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1β (IL1β), which play essential roles in the disease pathogenesis and are target molecules for specific therapy. Given the inter-individual variability in the response to the anti-TNF monoclonal antibody infliximab, the aim of our study was to explore the predictive value of TNF and/or IL1β as surrogate markers of infliximab response.

methodsSerial serum concentrations of TNF and IL1β and TNF promoter region and IL1B polymorphisms were determined in 47 patients (29 CD and 18 UC) receiving infliximab and correlated with treatment response.

resultsBaseline serum concentrations of TNF and IL1β were higher in UC patients than in CD patients (p = 0.0097 and 0.0024, respectively). CD patients showing <0.64 pg/ml IL1β at baseline were more frequently responders than non-responders (p = 0.036), and the C allele of the IL1B polymorphism was associated with higher IL1β serum concentrations (p = 0.026) and with poorer clinical remission after 14 weeks of infliximab treatment. No significant association was found between serum TNF concentration or TNF polymorphism and patient response to infliximab.

conclusionThis is the first study evaluating the pharmacogenetic role of the rs1143634 polymorphism of IL1B and TNF polymorphisms in infliximab-treated IBD patients. We found an association between the rs1143634 C allele and higher serum IL1β concentrations and a lower response to infliximab treatment in CD patients that warrants the interest of future studies in larger and independent series.
