Impact of glucocorticoids on systemic sirtuin 1 expression and activity in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis.
Article in Epigenetics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The class III histone deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays a pivotal role in numerous biological and physiological functions, including inflammation. An association between SIRT1 and proinflammatory cytokines might exist. In addition to their important role in inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), proinflammatory cytokines mediate the development of systemic effects. Here, we evaluated systemic SIRT1 expression and enzymatic activity, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in liver isolated from rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA), treated or not with low or high doses of glucocorticoids (GCs). We also measured the production of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in PBMCs and liver. We found that SIRT1 expression and activity increased in PBMCs of AIA rats compared to healthy controls and decreased under GC treatment. Similarly, we observed an increased SIRT1 activity in the liver of AIA rats compared to healthy controls which decreased under high doses of GCs. We also found an increase in IL-1 beta and TNF levels in the liver of AIA rats compared to healthy controls, which decreased under high doses of GC. We did not observe a significant correlation between SIRT1 activity and proinflammatory cytokine production in PBMC or liver. In contrast, a strong positive correlation was found between the liver levels of TNF and IL-1 beta (rho=0.9503, p=7.5x10
