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

purpose of reviewNeutrophils are the most numerous and the first responder cells of the innate immune system. Evidence suggests that neutrophils may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of multiple systemic diseases. A novel mechanism of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) leading to breaking of self-tolerance and generation of autoimmune responses in predisposed individuals has been described in various autoimmune conditions. The purpose of the review is to identify these important mechanisms of NETs leading to autoimmunity in various rheumatic diseases. RECENT

findingsNETs contain histone and chromatin, which contain important autoantigens. Many autoimmune conditions are associated with increased NET-generating capacity, unique low-density granulocyte population, and impaired NET degradation leading to persistent inflammation and tissue damage. NETs can also activate other immune cells, and their components may amplify the inflammatory response by activation of complement pathways and inflammasomes. NETs can also contribute to autoantibody formation in disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus by providing a constant source of autoantigens. NETs can also serve as biomarkers providing insights into disease diagnosis and therapeutics. NETs seem to play a primary role in inflammatory disease pathogenesis. Identification of different NET pathogenic pathways in various rheumatic conditions could provide new insights into disease pathogenesis and therapeutic targets could be developed towards the future treatment of inflammatory autoimmune diseases.
