From Basic Immunology to Clinical Practice: Bio-Originators versus Bio-Similars.
Review in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Biologic agents are macromolecules, and as such, they have a high level of structural heterogeneity. Treatment with such agents has been extremely expensive limiting thus their availability to increasing numbers of patients; therefore, many manufacturers chose to develop biologics that are highly similar to the originators, the biosimilars. The immunological properties of both products should therefore be characterized and compared. The biosimilar developers must have a complete qualitative documentation, appropriate preclinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies, and finally comparative studies with the originator to define the relative similarity in terms of biologic activity, quality characteristics, efficacy and safety. Immunogenicity assessment of the biosimilars continues through clinical trials and pharmacovigilance programs.
