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 underlying immunopathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis (IA) immune-related adverse event (irAE) remains obscure. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis (RA), where autoantibodies and B cell dysfunction are central features, the contribution of humoral immunity to IA-irAE is unclear. Here, we performed immunophenotyping of peripheral blood from patients with IA-irAE and compared them with patients with seronegative RA, immune checkpoint inhibition-treated patients without irAE, and healthy controls. IA-irAE was marked with increased cytotoxic gene expression and metabolic activation in T cells and reduced CXCR3 and CCR6 expression in CD4
