Review in Cellular immunology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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.

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

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that protects a host against fungal and extracellular bacterial infections. On the other hand, excessive or dysregulated production of IL-17 underlines susceptibility to autoimmune disease. Consequently, blocking IL-17 has become an effective strategy for modulating several autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Notably, however, IL-17 blockade remains ineffective or even pathogenic against important autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Furthermore, the efficacy of IL-17 blockade against other autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D) is currently unknown and waiting results of ongoing clinical trials. Coming years will determine whether the efficacy of IL-17 blockade is limited to certain autoimmune diseases or can be expanded to other autoimmune diseases. These efforts include new clinical trials aimed at testing second-generation agents with the goal of increasing the efficiency, spectrum, and ameliorating side effects of IL-17 blockade. Here we briefly review the roles of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of selected autoimmune diseases and provide updates on ongoing and recently completed trials of IL-17 based immunotherapies.
