Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
introductionPrevious studies have confirmed the pathologic role of synovial aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but its associations with the abnormal biologic behaviors of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) remain unclear. Herein, we examined the roles of AQP1 in the proliferation, migration and invasion of TNF-α-stimulated RA FLS (MH7A cells) and explored the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND
methodsLentivirus-mediated AQP1 overexpression or silencing MH7A cells was constructed. Assays of MTT, flow cytometry (PI staining and Annexin V-PE/7-AAD staining), TMRM staining, wound-healing, transwell and phalloidin staining were performed to detect cell proliferation, cycle distribution, apoptosis, migration and invasion. The involvement of Wnt/β-catenin pathway was revealed by Western blot and β-catenin immunofluorescence staining.
resultsAQP1 overexpression promoted cell proliferation of TNF-α-stimulated MH7A by facilitating transformation from G0/G1 to S phase and inhibiting cell apoptosis (ie, reduced apoptosis rates, raised mitochondrial membrane potential, increased Bcl-2 protein level and decreased levels of Bax and cleaved caspase 3 protein). Also, AQP1 overexpression increased the migration index as well as the numbers of migrated and invasive cells. Furthermore, AQP1 overexpression promoted the activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and XAV939, an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin, canceled the above effects of AQP1 overexpression on MH7A cells. As expected, AQP1 silencing exhibited the opposite effects on TNF-α-stimulated MH7A cells, which could be reversed by LiCl, an activator of Wnt/β-catenin.
conclusionAQP1 can affect the proliferation, migration and invasion of MH7A cells by Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and AQP1 can be as a crucial determiner that can regulate RA FLS biologic behaviors.
