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

Over the past two decades, the use of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors has significantly improved the treatment of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Firstly, introduced for rheumatoid arthritis, these inhibitors are currently approved and used for a variety of conditions, including ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and chronic uveitis. Despite their immense therapeutic efficacy, TNF-α inhibitors have been associated with neurological adverse effects that bring new clinical challenges. The present review collects data from multiple studies to evaluate the incidence and the relationship between TNF-α inhibitors and neurological side effects and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms of this association. Moreover, it highlights the importance of patient selection, particularly in the case of individuals with a history of demyelinating diseases, raises awareness for clinicians, and calls for ongoing research that will improve TNF-α targeting strategies and offer safer and more effective therapeutic options.
