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

purpose of reviewAutoimmune diseases are of unknown origin, and they represent significant causes of morbidity and mortality. Here, we review new developments in the understanding of their pathogenesis that have led to development of well tolerated and effective treatments. RECENT

findingsIn addition to the long-recognized genetic impact of the HLA locus, interferon regulatory factors, PTPN22, STAT4, and NOX have been implicated in pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Smoking, ultraviolet light, diet, and microbiota exert strong environmental influence on development of RA and SLE. Metabolism has been recognized as a critical integrator of genetic and environmental factors, and it controls immune cell differentiation both under physiological and pathological conditions. SUMMARY: With the advent of high-throughput genetic, proteomic, and metabolomic technologies, the field of medicine has been shifting towards systems-based and personalized approaches to diagnose and treat common conditions, including rheumatic diseases. Regulatory checkpoints of metabolism and signal transduction, such as glucose utilization, mitochondrial electron transport, JAK, mTOR, and AMPK pathway activation, and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6, and IL-17 have presented new targets for therapeutic intervention. This review amalgamates recent discoveries in genetics and metabolomics with immunological pathways of pathogenesis in rheumatic diseases.
