Review in Drugs, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disorder characterized by a complex chronic inflammatory response that is largely poorly responsive to treatment with corticosteroids. Consequently, there is a huge need to find effective anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of patients with this disease. Inhibition of cytokines and chemokines or their receptors using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) could be a potential strategy to treat the inflammatory component of COPD. In this article, we review the therapeutic potential of some of these mAbs; however, to date there has been little or no therapeutic effect of any mAb directed against cytokines or chemokines in patients with COPD. This may reflect the complexity of COPD in which there is no dominant role for any single cytokine or chemokine. It is also likely that since the umbrella term COPD covers many endotypes having different underlying mechanisms, mAbs directed towards specific cytokines or chemokines should be tested in restricted and focused populations.
