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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation leading to joint destruction and deformity. The crucial role of osteoclasts in the bone erosion in RA has been demonstrated. Deregulated osteoclastogenesis which is affected by environmental factors including the inflammatory state, as well as genetic and epigenetic factors, is one of hallmarks of RA pathogenesis. An enhanced-monocyte-to-osteoclast transition plays an important role in osteoclast upregulation in RA because under specific stimuli, circulating monocytes might migrate to a specific location in the bones and fuse with each other to become mature multinucleated osteoclasts. To understand the mechanism of bone damage in RA and to develop novel treatments targeting osteoclast upregulation, it is important to clarify our understanding of the monocyte-to-osteoclast transition in RA. Several potential targets which inhibit both inflammation and osteoclastogenesis, as well as regulators that affect the monocyte-to-osteoclast transition have been revealed by recent studies. Here, we review the factors affecting osteoclastogenesis in RA, summarize the anti-osteoclastogenic effects of current RA treatments, and identify promising therapeutic targets relating to both inflammation and osteoclastogenesis.
