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

Although rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, persistent autoimmune disease, 10 to 15% of RA patients achieve sustained disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-free remission over time. The biological mechanisms underlying the resolution of persistent inflammation in RA are still unidentified, and there is a lack of prognostic markers. It is well established that increased serum levels of gamma interferon-induced protein 10 (IP-10) are associated with (acute) increased inflammatory responses (e.g., in leprosy). In order to assess the potential of IP-10 as a diagnostic tool for inflammatory episodes of RA, we performed a retrospective study and assessed IP-10 levels in longitudinally banked serum samples obtained from patients upon first diagnosis of RA. The selection consisted of 15 persistent RA patients and 19 patients who achieved DMARD-free sustained remission. IP-10 levels, measured by use of a user-friendly quantitative lateral flow assay (LFA), showed up to 170-fold variation interindividually, and baseline IP-10 levels could not be differentiated between the two patient groups. However, a difference in the change in IP-10 levels between the first and last visits (ΔIP-10) was observed (
