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

objectivesThe present study evaluated the anti-arthritic and anti-oxidative effects of 6-nitro-1,3-benzodioxane in the adjuvant-induced arthritis model in rats.

methodsArthritis was induced in female rats by intradermal injection of MT37Ra. Arthritis was evaluated by arthritic score, body weight loss, paw volume measurement, and histological changes. The plantar test was used to evaluate the effect of NBD on hyperalgesia.

resultsThe hyperalgesia (p < 0.0001) and hind paw inflammation (p < 0.034) was significantly decreased with parallel increase in the body weight of the NBD-treated (25 mg/kg) group compared to arthritic control rats. The antioxidant activity analysis demonstrated that the treatment of NBD significantly suppressed the levels of nitric oxide (p < 0.001) and peroxide (p < 0.002) with a significant increase in the glutathione (p < 0.021) compared to the arthritic control group. Since the IL-1β and TNF-α are key pro-inflammatory cytokines in arthritis, we therefore measured their levels in the serum samples. In comparison to the arthritic control group, the NBD treatment significantly reduced the levels of IL-1β (p < 0.003) and TNF-α (p < 0.026).

conclusionOur results suggests that NBD is an anti-arthritic agent that not only reduces the severity of the disease process but also affects contributing factors of arthritic inflammation including free radicals and inflammatory cytokines production.
