Serum level of IFNβ distinguishes early from late relapses after biologics withdrawal in rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Since the advent of biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), most RA patients receiving such drugs have achieved remission at the expense of cost and infection risk. After bDMARDs are withdrawn, a substantial proportion of patients would have relapses even if they were in complete remission. In our previous report, relapse prediction could be made at the time of bDMARD withdrawal by measuring the serum levels of five cytokines. We report herein that, among 73 cytokines examined, serum levels of only interferon β (IFNβ) at the time of bDMARD withdrawal could predict early relapse (within 5 months) in patients who were categorized to relapse by the five cytokines in our previous report, with a cut-off value of 3.38 in log
