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

OBJECTIVE AND

designRheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease that leads to aggressive joint cartilage and bone destruction. Swertiamarin is a secoiridoid glycoside found in Enicostema axillare (Lam) A. Raynal, a medicinal plant used in the Indian system of traditional medicine. In the present study, the potential of swertiamarin was evaluated in IL-1β induced fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS).

methodsThe FLS were isolated from Freund's Complete Adjuvant induced arthritic (AA) rats and cultured with IL-1β. The normal FLS and AA-FLS were cultured and used for subsequent experiment in fibroblastic morphology form. The efficacy of swertiamarin (10-50 μg/ml) was evaluated on mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory and osteoclastogenesis mediators. The efficacy was also evaluated on p38 MAPKα levels with time course studies (2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 h).

resultsIL-1β induced cell proliferation (149.46 ± 13.73 %) and NO production (162.03 ± 11.03%) in AA-FLS; treatment with swertiamarin controlled proliferation (82.77 ± 4.22%) and NO production (82.06 ± 3.91% at 50 μg/ml) in a dose-dependent manner. It also significantly (P < 0.05) modulated the expression of apoptotic marker (caspase 3), proinflammation mediators (TNFα, IL-6, PGE2, COX-2, iNOS, MMPs) and osteoclastogenic mediator (RANKL) at both the mRNA and protein levels. Treatment with swertiamarin inhibited the levels of p38 MAPKα in a dose-dependent manner and also significantly (P < 0.05) attenuated the release of the same in time dependent mode.

conclusionThese findings suggest that treatment with swertiamarin attenuated IL-1β induced FLS, and it revealed anti-inflammatory potential by attenuating aggressive FLS.
