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

backgroundFingolimod (FTY720), a novel immunomodulator, was found to suppress the severity of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice. However, the potential molecular mechanisms are still unknown, and the effect of FTY720 on the recruitment of immune cells in the affected joints in the CIA model is not clear. MATERIALS AND

methodsFollowing the oral administration of FTY720 (2 mg/kg) was treated into CIA mice per day for 35 days, intravital microscopy and immunofluorescence assays were performed to examine immune cell recruitment in the affected joints. Human MH7A synoviocytes were stimulated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and incubated with FTY720. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA and protein expression were evaluated using RT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Signal transduction pathway protein expression was measured by Western blotting. Nuclear translocation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB was also analyzed by fluorescence microscopy.

resultsIn vivo experiments showed that FTY720 inhibited the recruitment of CD4

conclusionOur findings demonstrated that oral administration of FTY720 exerted beneficial effects in CIA mice by inhibiting CD4
