The inhibitory effect of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and steroids on gliostatin/platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor production in human fibroblast-like synoviocytes.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Gliostatin/platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (GLS/PD-ECGF) is known to have both angiogenic and arthritogenic activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and steroids are involved in the regulation of GLS expression. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were cultured and stimulated by interleukin (IL)-1beta with or without DMARDs and steroids. The expression levels of GLS were determined using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and an ELISA. In cultured rheumatoid FLSs, the expression of GLS mRNA was significantly increased by stimulation with IL-1beta. By contrast, GLS mRNA levels in IL-1beta-stimulated FLSs were reduced by treatment with aurothioglucose (AuTG) and dexamethasone (DEX). These findings indicate that AuTG and DEX have anti-rheumatic activity, which is mediated via the suppression of GLS production. Neither methotrexate (MTX) nor sulfasalazine (SSZ) had a significant influence on GLS levels in our study.
