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 a chimeric monoclonal antibody against tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, with a wide variety of uses. Monoclonal antibody therapies specifically targeting TNF-α, have emerged as a novel treatment option for patients with refractory sarcoidosis, with infliximab being the most widely used. This is not true of other TNF-α inhibitors, for example etanercept, which have a different mechanism of action, and are not effective in sarcoidosis. It is well documented that infliximab therapy can result in the production of autoantibodies, however clinical symptoms or disease is rare. In this report, we describe a 37-year-old male with a history of sarcoidosis requiring infliximab therapy, who presented during the course of his treatment with the onset of new migratory joint pain, increasing fatigue and positive serum autoantibodies, heralding the development of infliximab-induced lupus.
