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

The discovery of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) marked the beginning of one of the most fascinating journeys in modern biomedical research. For the moment, this journey has culminated in the development of drugs that inhibit TNF. TNF blockers have revolutionized the treatment of many chronic inflammatory diseases. Yet, the journey seems far from over. TNF is the founding member of a family of cytokines with crucial functions in cell death, inflammation, and cancer. Some of these factors, most prominently TNF, CD95L, and TRAIL, can induce cell death. The receptors that mediate this signal are therefore referred to as death receptors, even though they also activate other signals. Here I will take you on a journey into the discovery and study of death receptor-ligand systems and how this inspired new concepts in cancer therapy and our current understanding of the interplay between cell death and inflammation.
