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

Arthritis - induced experimentally in rats by immunization with mycobacteria has been shown to depend on specific T cell recognition of an epitope present on the mycobacterial 65-kD heat-shock protein. This particular epitope has been observed to have a structural mimicry with a cartilage-associated molecule present in the joints. Since the bacterial heat-shock proteins and the cartilage-associated molecules are of a conserved nature, one might infer from the experimental model that in humans similar mimicry could play a role in the initiation of autoimmune arthritis. Recent findings from the analysis of immunological reactivity to the 65-kD in rheumatoid arthritis patients seem to support such a role for the mycobacterial 65-kD heat-shock protein in human disease.
