Insufficient autoantigen presentation and failure of tolerance in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in Arthritis and rheumatism, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveIn the K/BxN mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis, T cells reactive for the self antigen glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) escape negative selection even though GPI expression is ubiquitous. We sought to determine whether insufficient GPI presentation could account for the failure of negative selection and for the development of arthritis.
methodsTo increase the antigen presentation of GPI, we generated transgenic mice expressing a membrane-bound form of GPI (mGPI) and crossed them with K/BxN mice. A monoclonal antibody specific for the α-chain of the KRN T cell receptor was generated to examine the fate of GPI-specific T cells.
resultsThe mGPI-transgenic mice presented GPI more efficiently and showed a dramatic increase in negative selection and an inhibition of arthritis. Interestingly, thymic negative selection remained incomplete in these mice, and the escaped autoreactive T cells were anergic in the peripheral lymphoid organs, suggesting that enhanced antigen presentation also induces peripheral tolerance. Despite this apparent tolerance induction toward GPI, these mice developed a chronic wasting disease, characterized by colonic inflammation with epithelial dysplasia, as well as a dramatic reduction in Treg cells.
conclusionThese data indicate that insufficient autoantigen expression or presentation results in defects of both central and peripheral tolerance in the K/BxN mice. Our findings also support the idea that insufficient autoantigen levels may underlie the development of autoimmunity.
