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

Different members of the galectin family may have inhibitory or stimulatory roles in controlling immune responses and regulating inflammatory reactions in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A hypothetical model of a cross talk between galectin-1 and galectin-3 has been established in the circumstance of rheumatoid joints. As galectin-3 is a positive regulator and galectin-1 is a negative regulator of inflammation and autoimmune responses, in this study we evaluated the effects of local knockdown of galectin-3 or overexpression of galectin-1 on ameliorating collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats. Lentiviral vectors encoding galectin-3 small hairpin RNA (shRNA) and galectin-1, as well as two control vectors expressing luciferase shRNA and green fluorescent protein, were individually injected intra-articularly into the ankle joints of rats with CIA, and their treatment responses were monitored by measuring the clinical, radiological and histological changes. Our results show that both knockdown of galectin-3 and overexpression of galectin-1 induced higher percentages of antigen-induced T-cell death in the lymph node cells from arthritic rats. Furthermore, these treatments significantly reduced articular index scores, radiographic scores and histological scores, accompanied with decreased T-cell infiltrates and reduced microvessel density in the ankle joints. Our findings implicate galectin-3 and galectin-1 as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of RA.
