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

Infliximab is commonly used in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), however, differences in clinical response among patients are common. Several studies have considered the possibility that these differences are caused by genetic variability even if no unique marker has been yet identified in pediatric patients. We evaluated the impact of two candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs396991 in FCGR3A and rs1800629 in TNFα genes on infliximab response in an Italian cohort of 76 pediatric patients with IBD. Results showed that patients with the variant FCGR3A allele had a reduced clinical response at the end of induction (p value = 0.004), at 22 weeks (p value = 0.001), and at 52 weeks of treatment (p value = 0.01). A significant association between the FCGR3A variant and median infliximab levels measured during maintenance therapy was also observed: patients with wild type genotype had higher infliximab levels compared to patient with variant allele. Furthermore, patients with the variant allele had a higher probability to produce antidrug antibodies (ADAs). No association was found among the TNFα SNP, clinical response, and infliximab levels. This study addressed for the first time in pediatric patients with IBD, the association of FCGR3A SNP, infliximab response, and ADA production.
