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

backgroundFibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autonomously activated to maintain inflammation and joint destruction in co-transplantation models. To elucidate inducing mechanisms involved in this altered behavior, the arthritogenic potential of FLSs from murine antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) were investigated in a transfer model.

methodsFLSs were isolated, expanded in vitro, and transferred into knee joint cavities of severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Their arthritogenic capacity was assessed by monitoring joint swelling and evaluation of histological parameters 70 to 100 days after transfer.

resultsFLSs from AIA mice were able to transfer arthritis into recipient SCID mice. FLS transfer induced a chronic arthritis with recruitment of inflammatory cells and marked cartilage destruction. Long-lasting inflammation was not required for imprinting of arthritogenicity in FLSs since cells isolated from acute arthritic joints were fully competent to transfer arthritis. We also observed arthritogenic potential in FLSs isolated from contralateral non-arthritic joints in our monoarticular arthritis model.

conclusionsWe show that the transformation of FLSs into arthritogenic cells occurs early in arthritis development. This challenges current hypotheses on the role of these cells in arthritis pathogenesis and opens up the way for further mechanistic studies.
