Review in Archives of rheumatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 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

Cathepsin G belongs to the neutrophil serine proteases family, known for its function in killing pathogens. Studies over the past several years indicate that cathepsin G has important effects on inflammation and immune reaction, and may be a key factor in the pathogenesis of some autoimmune diseases. In this article, we discuss the roles of cathepsin G in inflammation, immune reaction, and autoimmune diseases. To our knowledge, this is the first study providing important information about cathepsin G in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and suggesting that cathepsin G may be a new biomarker or treatment target.
