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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression levels of interleukin-15 (IL-15) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) animal model, and to investigate their correlations with RA. A total of 100 Wistar rats were selected, among which 60 rats were used to establish the collagen II-induced arthritis (CIA) model as the model observation group, and the remaining 40 rats were used as blank control group. The levels of IL-15 and IL-17 in synovial fluid were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after successful modeling. RA was evaluated by using arthritis index (AI) and pedal swelling volume. The expression levels of IL-15 and IL-17 in synovial fluid of rats in model observation group were higher than those in blank control group (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-15 and IL-17 in model observation group were gradually increased over time. In model observation group at 7 days after modeling, AI and pedal swelling volume began to be increased gradually reaching a peak at 28 days. The pedal swelling volume of CIA model rats was significantly higher than that of the blank control group (P<0.05). The increased expression levels of IL-15 and IL-17 in synovial fluid of rats in the CIA model observation group are correlated with the activity of disease, which can be used as reference indexes for the activity of RA.
