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

Articular manifestations are the main hall mark for rheumatoid arthritis; inflammation and oxidative stress are involved in its pathogenesis. This study was designed to figure out the possible therapeutic potential of polydatin on experimentally induced arthritis in rats. Polydatin (POLY) was administered (200 mg/kg, p.o.) for 21 days to complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA; 0.1 ml, s.c.)-induced arthritic rats. Meanwhile, methotrexate (MTX; 0.75 mg/kg, i.p.) was given as a reference standard disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD). Both POLY and MTX significantly attenuated articular damage associated with CFA-induced arthritis. This was manifested by reducing levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-17 (IL-17), and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), paralleled with marked decrease in hind paw and ankle diameters. Moreover, POLY and MTX downregulated gene expressions of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) as well as signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) besides hampering immunohistochemical staining of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Furthermore, substantial decline in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) level associated with significant rise in reduced glutathione content (GSH) was observed. These findings provide an innovative therapeutic approach of POLY as a natural anti-arthritic drug through modulating IL-6/STAT-3/IL-17/NF-кB cascade. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
