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

backgroundTo understand the role of genetic factors on chromosome 1 in the regulation of spontaneous arthritis in mice deficient in IL-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL_1RA), we previously used speed congenic breeding to transfer the QTL region from DBA/1(-/-) mice that are resistant to spontaneous arthritis into BALB/c(-/-) mice which are susceptible. We were able to establish two congenic strains which exhibited a delayed onset and reduced severity of disease. In this study, we asked a different set of questions. How will the QTL region from BALB/c(-/-) interact with the rest of the genome in the DBA/1(-/-) background? Will the DBA/1(-/-) mice become susceptible to spontaneous arthritis if the QTL genomic region on chromosome 1 was replaced with the genomic fragment of the same region from BALB/c(-/-)? We conducted the congenic breeding with the similar procedure as that of congenic strains with BALB/c(-/-) background.

resultInstead of BALB/c(-/-), DBA/1(-/-) was used as the recurrent parent while BALB/c(-/-) was used as the donor parent. By the 6(th) generation we determined that all of the chromosomes in the progeny were of DBA/1(-/-) origin with the exception of the QTL portion of chromosome 1 which is heterozygous of BALB/c(-/-) and DBA/1(-/-) origin. We then intercrossed selected mice to produce homozygous strains containing the homozygous genomic region of BALB/c(-/-) on chromosome 1, while the rest of genome are homozygous DBA/1(-/-). This strain was observed for the development of spontaneous arthritis. Up to 9 weeks of age, both congenic strain and DBA/1(-/-) did not develop arthritis. However, after 9 weeks, the congenic strain started to exhibit signs of arthritis, while the DBA/1(-/-) remained free from disease.

conclusionThe result indicates a strong influence of genetic factor(s) on the QTL of chromosome 1 on the susceptibility to spontaneous arthritis. Identification of genetic factors within this QTL region in the future will significantly enhance our understanding of molecular mechanism of spontaneous arthritis.
