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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease that eventually leads to joint deformities and loss of joint function. Previous studies have demonstrated a close relationship between autophagy and the development of RA. Although autophagy and apoptosis are two different forms of programmed death, the relationship between them in relation to RA remains unclear. In this study, we explored the effect of autophagy on apoptosis of articular chondrocytes in vivo and in vitro. Adjuvant arthritis (AA) and acid-induced primary articular chondrocyte apoptosis were used as in vivo and in vitro models, respectively. Articular chondrocyte autophagy and apoptosis were both observed dynamically in AA rat articular cartilage at different stages (15 days, 25 days and 35 days). Moreover, chondrocyte apoptosis and articular cartilage injury in AA rats were increased by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and decreased by the autophagy activator rapamycin. In addition, pre-treatment with 3-MA increased acid-induced chondrocyte apoptosis, while pre-treatment with rapamycin reduced acid-induced chondrocyte apoptosis in vitro. These results suggest that autophagy might be a potential target for the treatment of RA.
