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 an immune-mediated disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints and involves CD4+ T cell activation. In RA, CD4+ T cells are the main drivers of disease initiation and the perpetuation of the damaging inflammatory process. In the present study, we investigated the role of Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1) in RA. The frequency of LSD1-positive CD4+ T cells in the synovial fluid (SF) of active RA patients was higher than that of inactive RA patients. In CD4+ T cells isolated from SF of active RA patients, LSD1 downregulation significantly increased cell proliferation, as shown by MTT assay. LSD1 knockdown also significantly increased the production of IFN-γ and IL-17, and increased that of IL-10, as determined by ELISA and qRT-PCR aasay. In CD4+ T cells isolated from SF of inactive RA patients, LSD1 was overexpressed by LSD1 plasmid transfection. As expected, LSD1 overexpression resulted in an opposite effect on cell proliferation and the production of cytokines, including IFN-γ, IL-17 and IL-10. LSD1 was downregulated in RA mouse by lenti-vector infection. As expected, LSD1 knockdown in vivo significantly alleviated the disease severity and increased the levels of anti-collagen II antibodies. LSD1 downregulation in the early stage was more effective to ameliorate disease severity. Our data suggested the potential therapeutic role of LSD1 in RA patients.
