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

Autoimmune disease in NZB/W F1 mice was treated from 23 weeks of age with the novel immunomodulator BTS 63155 and, for comparative purposes, the established immunosuppressive agent cyclosporin A. Both drugs significantly improved survival compared with untreated controls. Lupus nephritis was also significantly reduced in the drug-treated groups, and this was related to reduced glomerular deposition of IgG. Autoantibody (ANA) levels were lowered by treatment with cyclosporin A, but not by BTS 63155. This latter finding may indicate a different mode of action for the two drugs. In a long term study, neither drug effected a complete cure, as autoimmune disease recurred on withdrawal of drug treatment.
