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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the correlation of serum Jun-amino-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway-associated phosphatase (JKAP) level with disease risk, severity, inflammation, and treatment response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitor in Crohn disease (CD) patients.

methodNinety-six active CD patients and 90 healthy controls (HCs) were consecutively enrolled. Serum JKAP level of participants was determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In CD patients, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Crohn disease activity index (CDAI), and inflammatory cytokine levels (determined by ELISA) were recorded. All CD patients underwent infliximab (IFX) treatment for 12 weeks, then treatment response (defined as decrement of CDAI ≥70) was assessed at week 12 (W12).

resultsSerum JKAP level in CD patients was lower compared to HCs, and it disclosed a good predictive value for decreased CD risk; meanwhile, it was negatively correlated with CRP level, CDAI score, TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-17 levels in CD patients. Sixty-eight (70.8%) patients achieved treatment response to IFX at W12, and JKAP level was increased at W12 compared to baseline. Interestingly, baseline JKAP level in response patients was decreased compared to nonresponse patients, and it exhibited a good predictive value for decreased treatment response to IFX, multivariate logistic regression revealed that JKAP was an independent factor for predicting reduced IFX response.

conclusionCirculating JKAP expression correlates with decreased disease risk, activity, and inflammation level, and it could be served as a novel biomarker for predicting reduced clinical response to TNF-α inhibitor in CD patients.
