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

Overactivated inflammation and catabolism induced by proinflammatory macrophages are involved in the pathological processes of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IVDD). Our previous study suggested the protective role of inhibiting heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in IVDD, while the underlying mechanisms need advanced research. The current study investigated the effects of HSP90 inhibitor 17-AAG on nucleus pulposus (NP) inflammation and catabolism induced by M1-polarized macrophages. Immunohistochemical staining of degenerated human IVD samples showed massive infiltration of macrophages, especially M1 phenotype, as well as elevated levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)13. The conditioned medium (CM) of inflamed NP cells (NPCs) enhanced M1 polarization of macrophages, while the CM of M1 macrophages but not M2 macrophages promoted the expression of inflammatory factors and matrix proteases in NPCs. Additionally, we found that 17-AAG could represent anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects by modulating both macrophages and NPCs. On the one hand, 17-AAG attenuated the pro-inflammatory activity of M1 macrophages via inhibiting nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. On the other hand, 17-AAG dampened M1-CM-induced inflammation and catabolism in NPCs by upregulating HSP70 and suppressing the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. Moreover, both
