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

Tetramerized single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (TeAb-CCP) is a constructed tetramerized ScFv of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies with p53 tetrameric domain, aim to investigate its effect on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) proliferation, migration, invasion, and production of inflammatory mediators in the in vitro co-culture system of peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and FLSs. TeAb-CCP was constructed by modifying a monovalent ScFv antibody to CCP with p53 tetrameric domain to improve its affinity. FLSs were isolated and cultured from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and control subjects. A co-culture system of peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and FLSs was used. FLSs proliferation, migration, and invasion were measured by MTT, scratch test, and Transwell chamber. Supernatants were measured for cytokines, chemokines, metalloproteinases, and anti-CCP antibodies by Luminex liquid phase protein chip and ELISA. TeAb-CCP significantly inhibited FLSs proliferation in a dose-dependent mode, with maximal action at concentration of 100 μg/ml on the 7th day in the co-culture system with PBMCs and FLSs, but not the same with only FLSs. TeAb-CCP significantly suppressed FLSs migration and invasive ability compared with the controls. Significantly lower levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, RANKL, protein arginine deiminase (PAD)-2, PAD4, metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-3 and anti-CCP antibodies were found in co-culture supernatant of TeAb-CCP group. In contrast, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) was significantly increased in the TeAb-CCP group. No significant difference of IL-1a, IL-10, IL-17, TNFα, VEGF, and FGF was found between two groups. As a blocking antibody, TeAb-CCP can significantly inhibit PBMCs of RA to produce pro-inflammatory mediators, and furthermore, inhibit the proliferation, activation, migration, and invasion of FLSs in vitro. In turn, it is suggested that citrullinated modified self-epitopes may be a new target for RA therapy.
