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

We undertook this study to determine whether the altered toll-like receptor (TLR)4-nuclear factor κB (NFκB)-interleukin1β (IL1β) signaling in peripheral blood of gout patients could provide insights into the pathogenesis of primary gouty arthritis (GA). TLR4 mRNA, TLR4 and NFκBp65 proteins expression and IL1β production were measured in 52 acute GA (AGA) and 34 non-acute GA (NAGA) male patients and 78 male healthy subjects (HC). NFκBp65 transcriptional activity and IL1β production were measured after TLR4 inhibition with anti-TLR4 antibody in peripheral whole blood from 13 AGA patients. The TLR4, NFκBp65 and IL1β expression was significantly increased in the AGA group than those in the NAGA or HC group (P < 0.05, respectively), also the levels were higher in the NAGA group comparing with those in the HC group (P < 0.05, respectively). Furthermore, moderate positive correlations were observed between concentration of uric acid and the TLR4 mRNA level, serum IL1β production (r = 0.649, 0.616), and strong positive correlation was observed between TLR4 mRNA level and serum IL1β (r = 0.848) in 52 AGA patients. On the other hand, NFκBp65 level and IL1β production were dramatically reduced after TLR4 blockade with anti-TLR4 antibody in peripheral blood from the AGA patients (P < 0.05, respectively). TLR4-NFκB-IL1β signaling might play a crucial role in the development of acute inflammation in primary gout patients.
