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

Several recently published clinical trials have shown tofacitinib to be effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. This drug is commonly prescribed either in a 5-mg or in a10-mg dosage twice daily. In this review, we aimed to systematically compare the adverse drug events which were observed with 5 mg versus 10 mg tofacitinib for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, and www.ClinicalTrials.gov were searched (from March to April 2018) for suitable English publications (published before April 2018). The inclusion criteria were as follows: randomized controlled trials, autoimmune disorders (rheumatic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, moderate to severe psoriasis, and ankylosing spondylitis), and comparison of adverse drug events associated with 5 mg versus 10 mg tofacitinib. This study had follow-up time periods of 3 months and ≥ 6 months. Statistical analysis was carried out by RevMan 5.3 whereby risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were generated. A total number of 4287 participants were included (2144 versus 2143 participants who received 5 mg and 10 mg tofacitinib twice daily respectively). The results showed that at 3 months, similar risks of adverse drug events, serious adverse events, and adverse events leading to drug discontinuation were observed with 5 mg versus 10 mg tofacitinib (RR 1.04, 95% CI 0.98-1.10; P = 0.17, I
