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

objectivesTriggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is an amplifier of inflammatory signals. Recently, a soluble form of TREM-1 (sTREM-1) was described. This study aimed to investigate the role of serum sTREM-1 in patients with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).

methodsSerum sTREM-1 levels were detected in 108 AOSD patients, 88 RA patients and 112 healthy controls (HC). The correlations of sTREM-1 with disease activity, clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters in AOSD patients were analysed by the Spearman correlation test. Risk factors for the chronic course of AOSD were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis.

resultsAOSD patients had significantly higher serum sTREM-1 levels than RA patients and HC, and serum sTREM-1 levels were correlated with the systemic score, ferritin, leucocyte count, CRP, IL-1β and IL-6. The elevation in the initial sTREM-1 level by itself could discriminate patients developing the chronic course from patients developing the nonchronic course. Moreover, an elevated sTREM-1 level (> 526.4475 pg/ml) was an independent risk factor for the chronic course in active AOSD patients. Furthermore, interfering with TREM-1 engagement led to reductions in the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, in neutrophils and monocytes from active AOSD patients.

conclusionSerum sTREM-1 levels are correlated with disease activity, and an elevation in the initial serum sTREM-1 level is a potential predictor of the chronic course in AOSD patients, which currently provides the best predictive model for identifying patients prone to developing the chronic course of AOSD.
