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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the relationship of serum JNK pathway-associated phosphatase (JKAP) expression with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk and clinical features, also to explore the longitudinal change of JKAP during etanercept treatment and its relationship with etanercept treatment response in RA patients.

methodsA total of 87 RA patients and 44 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled; then, their JKAP expression in serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among 87 RA patients, 42 cases further received the 24-week etanercept treatment; then, their JKAP level in serum (detected by ELISA) and clinical response (evaluated by disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) score) were evaluated at week 4 (W4), week 12 (W12), and week 24 (W24) after initiation of etanercept treatment.

resultsJKAP expression was decreased in RA patients compared to HCs, which disclosed a good predictive value for RA risk. JKAP expression was negatively associated with tender joint count, swollen joint count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and DAS28 in RA patients, respectively. For RA patients who received 24-week etanercept treatment, their clinical response rate was 0.0%, 33.3%, 50.0%, and 69% at W0, W4, W12, and W24, respectively. Importantly, JKAP was gradually increased during etanercept treatment, whose longitudinal elevation positively related to etanercept treatment response in RA patients.

conclusionCirculating JKAP links with decreased RA risk and mild disease activity, whose longitudinal elevation positively relates to etanercept treatment response.
