IL4-10 Fusion Protein Shows DMOAD Activity in a Rat Osteoarthritis Model.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIdeally, disease-modifying osteoarthritis (OA) drugs (DMOAD) should combine chondroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects in a single molecule. A fusion protein of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10 (IL4-10 FP) possesses these combined effects. In this study, the DMOAD activity of rat IL4-10 FP (rIL4-10 FP) was tested in a rat model of surgically induced OA under metabolic dysregulation.
designrIL4-10 FP was produced with HEK293F cells. Bioactivity of purified rIL4-10 FP was determined in a whole blood assay. Male Wistar rats (
resultsIntra-articular injections with rIL4-10 FP significantly reduced cartilage degeneration (
conclusionrIL4-10 FP showed chondroprotective and analgesic activity in a rat OA model with moderate cartilage damage, mild synovial inflammation, and pain. Future studies will need to address whether less frequent intra-articular injections, for example, with formulations with increased residence time, would also lead to DMOAD activity.
