Neuromedin U Suppresses Collagen-Induced Arthritis through ILC2-Th2 Activation.
Article in Journal of immunology research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Neuromedin U (NMU) is an evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide which was previously thought to have a proinflammatory property. Recently, it was reported that NMU induced rapid ILC2 activation and Th2 responses in allergic diseases. However, whether NMU could launch such responses in arthritis is not known. In this study, we investigated the effect of NMU administration on arthritis and its underlying mechanisms. C57BL/6 male mice were induced with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and treated with NMU-23 or PBS at an early stage of induction. NMU-23 dramatically inhibited clinical onset and severity of arthritis, accompanied with decreased bone erosion and number of osteoclasts. Mechanistically, NMU-23 administration induced the expansion of ILC2 and elevated eosinophil, IL-5, and IL-13 expression in the joint of arthritic mice. Although levels of Th2 cells are slightly increased, Gata3 expression level is also upregulated. Further, NMU-deficient (NMU
