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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease that has transitioned from a debilitating disease to a chronic, controllable disease. This has been possible due to the introduction of new treatment strategies like "treat-to-target," in which the clinician treats the patient aggressively enough to reach low disease activity or remission, and the introduction of new therapeutic agents, such as biological therapies, which can lead to the prevention of damage by early diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Attention is now being directed toward identifying the optimal treatment for each patient, one that will be the most efficient and have the least number of side effects. Much work has been done to find serologic and synovial biomarkers of response to various RA treatments. Proteomics, genomics and, in the past few years, metabolomics, have all been used in the quest of identifying these biomarkers. Blood-based liquid biopsies provide a minimally invasive alternative to synovial biopsies to identify cellular and molecular signatures that can be used to longitudinally monitor response and allow for personalized medicine approach. Liquid biopsies are comprised of cell-free DNA, immune circulating cells, and extracellular vesicles, and are being increasingly and successfully used in the field of oncology for diagnosis, progression, prognosis, and prediction of response to treatment. Recently, researchers have also begun investigating the usefulness of liquid biopsies in the field of rheumatology; in this review, we will focus on the potential of liquid biopsy blood samples as biomarkers of response to treatment in patients with RA.
