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

Tofacitinib is a new small-molecule inhibitor of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. We herein report a case of IgA vasculitis apparently caused by tofacitinib. A 67-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis developed IgA vasculitis after taking tofacitinib for 6 months. She presented with proteinuria and purpura of the lower extremities. Biopsy specimens from her skin and kidney were compatible with IgA vasculitis. Following termination of tofacitinib, the patient completely recovered from the IgA vasculitis. Drug-induced IgA vasculitis has been previously described for anti-tumor necrosis factor-(TNF)α therapies, but this is the first report of this adverse effect with anti-JAK therapy.
