[MMP- and FAP-mediated non-inflammation-related destruction of cartilage and bone in rheumatoid arthritis].

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
introductionDue to morphological similarities of high-grade synovitis in rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and mesenchymal, semimalignant tumors and the hypothesis that RA progression is not only inflammation-related, but also determined by tumor-like mechanisms, a comparison was made between expression profiles of RA, giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) and normal synovium (ND).
methodsArray data of selected genes were validated through immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded and deep frozen tissue samples of GCT, RA and normal synovium.
resultsWith microarray analysis, CCR1, CCR5, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-14 and FAP were found to be significantly upregulated in RA and GCT compared to ND. A significant upregulation in RA and GCT compared to ND could be validated by immunohistochemistry for MMP-1, MMP-9, MMP-14 and FAP. DISCUSSION: For MMPs, and MMP-9 in particular, an important role in early cartilage destruction of RA was suggested. The presence of FAP in RA and in stroma of a semimalignant tumor indicates tumor-like tissue destruction in chronic synovitis associated with RA.
