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

Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is involved in both normal physiological processes and pathology of various diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the function and underlying mechanisms of TRPM7 channels in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) apoptosis induced by thapsigargin in vitro. In this study, using a combination of Western blotting, RT-PCR, and nuclear morphology analysis, we investigated the influence and potential function of TRPM7 channels on the apoptosis induced by thapsigargin in RA FLSs. Chemical inhibitors (Gd(3+) and 2-APB) and specific siRNA for TRPM7 were used to study the role of TRPM7 in RA FLSs apoptosis. The expression of TRPM7 was significantly potentiated in RA FLSs. Co-incubation of RA FLSs with Gd(3+), 2-APB, or TRPM7-siRNA increased cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that suppression of TRPM7 channels also increased the expression CHOP and calpain and decreased the expression caspase-3. We conclude that suppression of TRPM7 channels may increase RA FLSs apoptosis in vitro, and this is associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Therefore, inhibition of TRPM7 could activate ER stress and induce RA FLSs apoptosis.
