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 discovery of the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R, originally named P2Z) in immune cells, its cloning, and the identification of its role in a multiplicity of immune-mediated diseases raised great hopes for the development of novel and more potent anti-inflammatory medicaments. Unfortunately, such hopes were partially deluded by the unsatisfactory results of most early clinical trials. This failure substantially reduced the interest of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries in the clinical development of P2X7R-targeted therapies. However, recent findings ushered in a second life for the P2X7R in diagnostic medicine. New P2X7R radioligands proved to be very reliable tools for the diagnosis of neuroinflammation in preclinical and clinical studies, and detection and measurement of free P2X7 receptor (or P2X7 subunit) in human blood suggested its potential use as a circulating marker of inflammation. Here we provide a brief review of these novel developments.
