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

Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A) is a member of the TNF superfamily of cytokines, involved in regulation of the immune and inflammatory response. Recently, therapies aimed at blockade of the TL1A pathway have shown benefit in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, very little is known regarding activation of the TL1A axis in spondyloarthropathies (SpA), which are clinically and pathogenetically linked to IBDs. Our study investigated soluble forms of TL1A and its receptors, death receptor 3 (DR3) and decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), in the serum of patients with SpA, and evaluated potential associations between concentrations of the investigated molecules and clinical features of SpA. Material and methods: Tumor necrosis factor-like cytokine 1A, DR3, and DcR3 concentrations were measured (using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay - ELISA) in the serum of 82 patients with SpA and 36 healthy controls. Results: We found no significant difference in serum concentrations of TL1A or DR3 between the study and the control groups. However, we observed a significantly higher concentration of DcR3 (median [min.-max.]: 292.31 [93.241-13,862.10] pg/ml) in patients with SpA than in the controls (median [min.-max.]: 126.73 [10.68-1,482.74] pg/ml; Conclusions: The results of our study indicate that the TL1A/DR3/DcR3 axis is activated in patients with SpA and may represent a new target for therapies in this group of diseases. Further studies are needed to confirm our data.
