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

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that negatively affects ~100,000 children under the age of 16 in the United States. About ~30% of these patients fail first-line drug therapy with low-dose methotrexate (MTX) due to poor tolerability or lack of efficacy. The SLCO1B1*14 allele is associated with increased MTX clearance and has been linked to reduced overall drug exposure and nonresponse to MTX in JIA patients. Herein, we describe transgenic hSLCO1B1*14 and hSLCO1B1*1 DBA1/J mSlco1b2 knock-out mice, which we used to assess arthritic response to MTX using the collagen-induced arthritis model. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis revealed that OATP1B1 protein abundance was 2.1-fold higher in hSLCO1B1*14 mice compared to hSLCO1B1*1 mice. Following treatment with 1 mg/kg MTX for 3 weeks, hSLCO1B1*14 mice exhibited a 39% increase in median arthritic disease burden (p = 0.02) and a 22% reduction in MTX AUC (p = 0.14) compared to hSLCO1B1*1 mice. Pharmacokinetic modeling estimated that the hSLCO1B1*14 mice would need a 30% higher dose to equalize exposure and response to hSLCO1B1*1 mice. When hSLCO1B1*14 mice received 1.3 mg/kg MTX, the arthritic disease burden and overall MTX exposure were less than the 1 mg/kg MTX in hSLCO1B1*1 mice, reinforcing that differences in MTX elimination and therapeutic response can be accounted for by using pharmacogenetic-guided dosing of MTX in JIA patients.
