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

objectiveTo investigate the expression of citrullinated epitopes in articular cartilage protein and whether its expression is sufficient to induce anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) response in mice.

methodsThe experimental group was treated with different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), heat-inactivated bacteria (

resultsThe citrullinated CII epitope-specific antibody ACC4 did not bind to articular cartilage tissues with different treatments as compared with the positive control antibody ACC1. The ACC4 antibody and the antibodies from patients with rheumatoid arthritis with high titers of anti-citrullinated protein antibody were capable of binding to the synovial tissue around the articular cartilage of the CIA. Luminex analysis showed that the anti-citrullinated protein antibody was lowly expressed in mouse serum, but the anti-type Ⅱ collagen triple helix structure peptide antibody exhibited strong reactivity.

conclusionsMild acute inflammatory response is not enough to cause citrullination of articular cartilage protein, and the expression of specific epitope requires a high-intensity inflammatory response. Inflammatory articular cartilage protein can express citrullinated epitopes in type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis in mice, but the expression of citrullinated epitopes is not sufficient to induce an immune response to anti-citrullinated antibodies. Stronger stimulation signals are required to induce an immune response for producing anti-citrullinated protein antibodies.
