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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by progressive inflammation associated with abberrant proliferation of synoviocytes. In order to explore the characteristics of rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts (RSF), we performed the comparative gene expression profile analysis between RSF and normal synovial fibroblasts (NSF) upon tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulation. As an initial screening for the genes preferentially induced by TNF in RSF compared with NSF, we have adopted a cDNA array containing well-defined sets of genes responsible for cell growth, cell fate determination, and cellular invasiveness. Differentially expressed genes of interest were confirmed using real-time RT-PCR. We found that TNF induced the expression of Notch-1, Notch-4, and Jagged-2 in RSF. The expression of these proteins was detected in the RA synovial tissues. The nucleus of RA synoviocytes showed strong staining with anti-Notch-1 and Notch-4 antibody. TNF induced the nuclear translocation of Notch intracellular domain in RSF, indicating the elicitation of the Notch signaling. Notch-1, Notch-4, and Jagged-2 proteins were also detected in the developing synovium of mouse embryo. Thus, RSF may have re-acquired the primordial phenotype, accounting for the hyperproliferation and aggressive invasiveness, exhibiting tumor-like phenotype.
