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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveMounting studies have illustrated an important role of autophagy in various diseases, but few studies have reported its contribution to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the underlying mechanism was largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether autophagy inhibitors could regulate apoptosis and proliferation through PI3K/AKT pathway in RA.

methodsRA animal model was established by collagen induction. General observations and degree of joint swelling were observed. Inflammatory response, cell survival related factors and apoptosis were also detected in synovial fibroblasts. In addition, cultured rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) were subjected to TNF-α treatment

resultsResults from the animal model showed that autophagy inhibitors attenuated inflammatory reaction and synovial hyperplasia, while promoted synovial fibroblasts apoptosis. Meanwhile, inhibition of autophagy promoted cell apoptosis and reversed cell proliferation

conclusionautophagy inhibitors could mitigate inflammation response, inhibiting RA-FLS cell proliferation while promoting cell apoptosis by the PI3K/AKT pathway.
