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

backgroundThe incidence and characteristics of spontaneous ankylosis in the ankle of specific F(1) mice descended from two Fas-deficient strains were reported. Here the coincidence of synovial proliferation and ankylosis in the descendent F(2) mice is reported.

aimTo clarify whether the two distinct manifestations are genetically different.

methodsAn arthropathic group of mice (MCF(2)) were bred by intercrossing MRL/Mp.Fas(lpr)-sap(-)/sap(-) and C3H/He.Fas(lpr) mice. All mice were killed by bleeding under anaesthesia when they were 6 months old. Pathological grades for synovial proliferation were determined by microscopical examination. To obtain a linkage locus, the whole genome of male MCF(2) mice was scanned by using 73 microsatellite markers.

resultsSynovial proliferation was equally observed in male and female MCF(2) mice. No correlation was observed between the grades of synovial proliferation and the ankylosis occurring in the MCF(2) mice. A suggestive susceptibility locus was shown in the middle of chromosome 11. This locus was an MRL allele with a recessive inheritance mode.

conclusionThe pathogenic mechanisms of synovial proliferation and ankylosis are genetically different. The present locus is overlapped with some loci associated with rheumatoid arthritis and with others associated with experimental arthritides.
