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.

Abstract

background and purposeAnkylosing spondylitis (AS) is a kind of rheumatic disease, leading to pain, fatigue, stiffness, and functional impairment, which seriously affects the quality of life. Etanercept, a fully human recombinant protein, has been applied for the treatment of AS. However, there has not been a systematic analysis for its efficacy and safety.

methodsThis meta-analysis of fourteen randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials with 1,570 participants was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of etanercept, by means of calculating the overall relative risk, and to compare the different responses between the Caucasian population and the Chinese population.

resultsGenerally, there was sufficient evidence to prove that etanercept has its advantages in both disease activity controlling and symptoms relieving, especially for axial joints compared with peripheric joints, without higher incidence of serious adverse events.

interpretationOur preliminary analysis provided that the Caucasian population has better response to etanercept treatment, with more treatment-emergent adverse events. Further specially designed clinical trials need to be performed to investigate the different responses between axial and peripheric joints, also between different races.
