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

Degenerative mechanisms such as protein accumulation and vacuolar transformation in the skeletal muscle distinguish inclusion body myositis (IBM) from other inflammatory myopathies. IBM is particularly common in patients over the age of 50 years and inevitably leads to progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Conventional immunotherapies, albeit effective in other forms of myositis, seem to have only a transient or no beneficial effect on disease progression of IBM. So far, no established evidence-based treatment exists and therapy recommendations are based on expert opinion. Recent clinical trials using monoclonal antibodies such as alemtuzumab or etanercept have failed to demonstrate efficacy. Different treatment studies with drugs that aim at degenerative disease mechanisms are planned or ongoing. This review aims to provide an overview of the current treatment options for IBM.
