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

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This finding has led to the development of TNF blockers for RA treatment. However, response to these therapies is heterogeneous with success in only two thirds of patient. Some clinical aspects useful in the attempt to predict the response to TNF inhibitors is the promptness and the magnitude of the response at the first weeks and a low basal disease activity, while comorbidities, tobacco, glucocorticoids treatment, and high basal radiological score correlate with a poorer response. The role of TNF promoter polymorphisms in clinical response to anti-TNF therapies is controversial. A correlation between the presence of high baseline titers of rheumatoid factor (RF) and decreased response to anti-TNF treatment has been reported. Most studies show decreased RF titers during anti-TNF treatment mainly in patients who responded to treatment. There is no consensus about the usefulness of basal anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) levels, and a decrease in ACPA titers as predictor of clinical response to anti-TNF therapy. Despite some promising markers identified to fulfill this role, currently the predictive value of single markers seems not strong enough to predict treatment response in an individual RA patient.
