Article in Clinical reviews in allergy & immunology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03652961 (Rheumatoid Arthritis Memory B Cells and Abatacept), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 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.

Abstract

Abatacept is a fusion protein (CTLA4-Ig) and therapeutic molecule labeled for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Abatacept acts both by disrupting the CD28-mediated activation of T cells and by interacting with CD80/CD86 molecules present on antigen presenting cells such as monocytes and memory B cells. Accordingly and to evaluate clinical and biological parameters associated with response to abatacept, a retrospective monocentric study was conducted in 43 patients with RA, and the clinical response was evaluated at 6 months according to EULAR response criteria. Median age of the patients was 59.8 ± 15.1 years including 35 females and 8 males. At baseline, no difference was observed between non-responders (NR, n = 11), moderate responders (MR, n = 21), and good responders (GR, n = 11) to abatacept with regards to demographic, biological, and clinical characteristics of the patients (age, sex, anti-CCP, RF, FcγR3A V158F polymorphism, and C3/C4 complement reduction). Moreover, peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotyping was performed by flow cytometry revealing in 30 RA patients compared to controls (n = 45; median age 56.7 ± 13.5 years) that the initial CD19
