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

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors are among the most potent treatments for inflammatory arthropathies including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and spondyloarthropathies. The availability of these biologic agents have revolutionized the management of these conditions and improved patient outcomes. Though generally safe, these biologics may contribute to the induction or exacerbation of colitis. This paradoxical colitis has been observed in patients on TNF-α inhibitor etanercept and IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab and ixekizumab). We report a case of a 46-year-old female with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms after treatment with etanercept and IL-17 inhibitors. She was later diagnosed with paradoxical indeterminate colitis that was masked and treated by subsequent biologics given for her RA and psoriatic arthritis. In this report, we will discuss the importance of considering paradoxical colitis in the differential diagnosis for patients even several years after TNF-α/IL-17 inhibitor initiation and explain why careful consideration must be made when initiating these colitis-inducing agents to treat patients with inflammatory disorders.
