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 one of the most common and most debilitating joint diseases, producing high personal, social, and economic costs.(1,2) Patients with RA suffer pain and functional losses, often followed by disability and premature death. Although the etiology of RA is unknown, substantial efforts have been directed toward studying the transition of the joint from normal to diseased. The maintenance of normal joint architecture and function requires equilibrium between the synthesis and degradation of the specialized extracellular matrices that make up bone, cartilage, and tendons. In RA, the balance of tissue remodeling is disturbed,(3) and excessive proteolytic degradation of the joint matrices leads to joint destruction.(4,5) The early phase of RA is characterized by the infiltration of immune and inflammatory cells into the synovium and by hyperplasia of the fibroblasts in the synovial lining. This leads to pannus formation, cartilage breakdown, and eventual bone destruction.(1,2) Through the use of an experimental mouse model of RA, Li and colleagues(6) have implicated plasmin as an essential component of the early phase of RA, as reported in this issue of The American Journal of Pathology.
