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

objectiveThis study investigated the effect of macrophage depletion with clodronate-containing liposomes (Clo-lip) on the incidence and development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

methodsThe effect of macrophage depletion with Clo-lip in the spleen was assessed by HE (haematoxylin and eosin) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Thirty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups, which were administered PBS-lip, Clo-lip, or normal saline. RA model mice were then created and the appearance of the paws was observed. Expression of CD68 by macrophages was examined by immunofluorescence on the 49th day. Forty-five RA model mice were created and randomly divided into three groups. The experiment group was administered Clo-lip at different timepoints. The degree of arthritis score was recorded during the administration. Histological features were detected by HE staining on the 84th day.

resultsCompared to controls, horseshoe-shaped nuclei and multi-core large cells were reduced in the experimental group (HE stain; p < 0.05). Brown tag-CD68 and tag-CD80 macrophages were fewer in the experimental group than in the control group (immunohistochemistry; p < 0.05). Furthermore, the degree of arthritis score in the experimental group was significantly decreased (p < 0.05). HE staining showed that there was no or less inflammatory cell infiltration in the articular cavity in mice in the experimental group, and that the percentage of CD68

conclusionMacrophage depletion with Clo-lip can affect the incidence and development of RA.
