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

In the past 20 years, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease (CD), and other immune diseases have witnessed the impact of a great treatment advance with the availability of biological TNFα inhibitors. With 5 approved anti-TNFα biologics on the market and soon available biosimilars, patients have more treatment options and have benefited from understanding the biology of TNFα. Nevertheless, many unmet needs remain for people living with TNFα-related diseases, namely some side effects and tolerance of current anti-TNFα biologics and resistance to therapies. Furthermore, common diseases such as osteoarthritis and back/neck pain may respond to anti-TNFα therapies at early onset of symptoms. Development of new TNFα inhibitors focusing on TNFR1 specific inhibitors, preferably small molecules that can be delivered orally, is much needed.
