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

objectiveNeutrophils represent a prominent component of inflammatory joint effusions and are required for synovial inflammation in mouse models, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we developed a system with which to test the importance of the production of specific factors by neutrophils in a mouse model of arthritis.

methodsNeutrophil-deficient Gfi-1(-/-) mice were administered sublethal doses of radiation and were then engrafted with donor bone marrow cells (BMCs), which resulted in the production of mature neutrophils within 2 weeks. By reconstituting with BMCs from mice lacking selected proinflammatory factors, we generated mice that specifically lacked these factors on their neutrophils. Arthritis was initiated by transfer of K/BxN serum to identify the role of defined neutrophil factors on the incidence and severity of arthritis.

resultsNeutrophils lacking the signaling chain of stimulatory Fc receptors (FcRgamma(-/-)) were unable to elicit arthritis, but neutrophils lacking FcgammaRIII still did so. Neutrophils lacking the chemotactic or adhesion receptor C5a receptor (C5aR) or CD11a/lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) also failed to initiate arthritis but could enter joints in which inflammation had been initiated by wild-type neutrophils. Neutrophils unable to produce interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) and IL-1beta (IL-1alpha/beta(-/-)) or leukotrienes (5-lipoxygenase [5-LOX(-/-)]) produced arthritis of intermediate severity. The inability of neutrophils to make tumor necrosis factor or to express receptors for tumor necrosis factor or IL-1 had no effect on arthritis.

conclusionA novel transfer system was developed to identify neutrophil production of FcRgamma, C5aR, and CD11a/LFA-1 as critical components of autoantibody-mediated arthritis. Neutrophil production of IL-1 and leukotriene B(4) likely contributes to inflammation but is not essential. Molecular requirements for neutrophil influx into joints become more permissive after inflammation is initiated.
