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) is a key regulator of inflammatory processes in several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Inactivating TNF has been found to be a plausible approach in treating these conditions. Two major strategies have been adopted by scientists to inactivate TNF: one is to use monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind to TNF, and the other is to use fusion proteins that bind to TNF, both inactivate TNF and help to prevent TNF-mediated inflammatory processes. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are biological products that selectively bind to specific antigen molecules, and fusion proteins are soluble receptors that bind to TNF. These types of drugs are generally known as biologics and there has been an explosion in the development and testing of biologics since the 1994 US approval and launch of abciximab, a mAb that binds to GPIIb/IIIa on platelets. Anti-TNF drugs that are currently approved by FDA for treating inflammatory conditions include adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab, infliximab and etanercept. Since these agents are complex protein molecules, the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of these drugs are different from small-molecule anti-inflammatory agents. This review focuses on the pharmaceutical aspects of these drugs such as mechanism of action, adverse effects, pharmacokinetics and drug interactions. An effort was also taken to compare the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties of these drugs, with the available data at this time.
