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 first anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody, infliximab (Remicade), celebrated its 25th anniversary of FDA approval in 2023. Inhibitors of TNF have since proved clinically efficacious at reducing inflammation associated with several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease. The success of TNF inhibitors raised unrealistic expectations for targeting other members of the TNF superfamily (TNFSF) of ligands and their receptors, with difficulties in part related to their more limited, variable expression and potential redundancy. However, there has been a resurgence of interest and investment, with many of these cytokines or their cognate receptors now under clinical investigation as targets for modulation of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as cancer. This Review assesses TNFSF-targeted biologics currently in clinical development for immune system-related diseases, highlighting ongoing challenges and future directions.
