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

The treatment of connective tissue disease (CTD) and CTD-related intractable diseases (CTD-IDs) currently depends on the use of steroid therapy. Approximately 20 years have passed since the approval of infliximab for rheumatoid arthritis in 2003. Since then, several biological therapeutics have been marketed and adapted for many CTDs and CTD-IDs other than rheumatoid arthritis. Although conventional treatment for patients with these diseases is rarely used because of their poor prognosis, these cases may benefit from biological therapeutics. However, choosing biological therapeutics is difficult because they have different target molecules compared with conventional therapeutics. In this review, we address the current situation of biological therapeutics for CTD-IDs including Behcet's disease, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related arthritis, and adult Still's disease, as well as the choice of biological therapeutics in clinical practice.
