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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common debilitating disease characterized by abnormal remodeling of the cartilage and bone of the articular joint. Ameliorating therapeutics are lacking due to limited understanding of the molecular pathways affecting disease initiation and progression. Notably, although a link between inflammation and overt OA is well established, the role of inflammation as a driver of disease occurrence is highly disputed. We analyzed a family with dominant inheritance of early-onset OA and found that affected individuals harbored a rare variant allele encoding a significant amino acid change (p.Asn104Asp) in the kinase domain of receptor interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2), which transduces signals from activated bacterial peptidoglycan sensors through the NF-κB pathway to generate a proinflammatory immune response. Functional analyses of RIPK2 activity in zebrafish embryos indicated that the variant RIPK2104Asp protein is hyperactive in its signaling capacity, with augmented ability to activate the innate immune response and the NF-κB pathway and to promote upregulation of OA-associated genes. Further we show a second allele of RIPK2 linked to an inflammatory disease associated with arthritis also has enhanced activity stimulating the NF-κB pathway. Our studies reveal for the first time the inflammatory response can function as a gatekeeper risk factor for OA.
