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

Rheumatic diseases are characterized by sterile inflammation that causes severe long-term damage to various organ systems. A growing body of evidence supports a pivotal role for the pro-inflammatory calcium-binding S100 family of proteins in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. Some S100 proteins are released at the site of inflammation and act as danger-associated molecular pattern molecules by activating pattern recognition receptors. Increased concentrations of S100 proteins in serum and synovial fluid closely correlate with disease activity in several rheumatic diseases and serve as useful biomarkers for monitoring disease activity. Some S100 proteins are also valid biomarkers for predicting response to treatment, systemic organ involvement or disease flares in rheumatic diseases. Analyses of knockout mouse models have confirmed a functional role for S100 proteins, particularly S100A8 and S100A9, in rheumatic diseases, indicating that blocking the expression, release or function of these proteins might be an innovative therapeutic strategy. Owing to their local pattern of expression, specific mechanism of release and autoregulatory effects, such therapeutic approaches would primarily target the local inflammatory process and present only minor risks of systemic adverse effects.
