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

aimInterleukin (IL)-7 signalling modulates T cell activity and is implicated in numerous autoimmune diseases. The present study investigated the safety, pharmacokinetics, target engagement, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of GSK2618960, an IL-7 receptor-α subunit (CD127) monoclonal antibody.

methodsA double-blind (sponsor-unblind) study of a single intravenous infusion of either GSK2618960 (0.6 mg kg

resultsGSK2618960 was well tolerated; there were no serious or significant adverse events. The observed half-life was 5 (±1) days (2.0 mg kg

conclusionGSK2618960 was well tolerated and blocked IL-7 receptor signalling upon full target engagement. Although there was no discernible impact on peripheral T cell subsets in healthy subjects, GSK2618960 may effectively modulate the autoinflammatory activity of pathogenic T cells in diseased tissue. A relatively short half-life is likely the result of target-mediated rather than ADA-mediated clearance.
