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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an urgent public health problem; however, the underlying causal mechanisms remain unclear, especially in terms of inflammatory mediators in cartilage degradation and chondrocyte imbalance. P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is a critical inflammation switch, but few studies have examined its function and mechanisms in OA-like pyroptotic inflammation of chondrocytes. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were injected in the knee with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) to induce OA, followed by multiple intra-articular injections with P2X7R antagonist A740003, P2X7R agonist BzATP, NF-
