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

objectivesTo examine the ability of takinib, a selective transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) inhibitor, to reduce the severity of murine type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), and to affect function of synovial cells.

methodsFollowing the induction of CIA, mice were treated daily with takinib (50 mg/kg) and clinical scores assessed. Thirty-six days post-CIA induction, histology was performed on various joints of treated and vehicle-treated animals. Inflammation, pannus, cartilage damage, bone resorption, and periosteal bone formation were quantified. Furthermore, pharmacokinetics of takinib were evaluated by LC-MS in various tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) cells were cultured with 10 μM takinib and cytokine secretion analyzed by cytokine/chemokine proteome array. Cytotoxicity of takinib for RA-FLS was measured with 24 to 48 h cultures in the presence or absence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF).

resultsHere, we show takinib's ability to reduce the clinical score in the CIA mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (p < 0.001). TAK1 inhibition reduced inflammation (p < 0.01), cartilage damage (p < 0.01), pannus, bone resorption, and periosteal bone formation and periosteal bone width in all joints of treated mice compared to vehicle treated. Significant reduction of inflammation (p < 0.004) and cartilage damage (p < 0.004) were observed in the knees of diseased treated animals, with moderate reduction seen in the forepaws and hind paws. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics of takinib show rapid plasma clearance (t

conclusionOur findings support the hypothesis that TAK1 targeted therapy represents a novel therapeutic axis to treat RA and other inflammatory diseases.
