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 ingress of inflammatory leucocytes into the synovium is a crucial step in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cytokines are mediators involved in the inflammatory events, adhesive mechanisms, angiogenesis and osteopenia associated with RA. Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, growth factors and chemokines all have an important role in these processes. Because the efficacy of currently used antirheumatic therapy is often limited, there is a need for more specific intervention strategies. Anticytokine therapy may include the use of monoclonal antibodies, antagonistic cytokines, soluble cytokine receptors, cytokine receptor antagonists, somatic gene transfer or other approaches. Hopefully, the study of cytokines and their interactions will lead to the development of new immunomodulatory strategies that will benefit patients with RA.
