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

Yi Shen Juan Bi Pill (YSJB) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulation that has a therapeutic effect upon rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but how YSJB affects bone destruction in arthritis under postmenopausal conditions is not known. We evaluated the therapeutic role of YSJB in bone destruction in postmenopausal arthritis, We used collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats who had been ovariectomized (OVX) as models and explored the possible mechanism from the synovium and bone marrow (BM). Arthritis was generated after ovariectomy or sham surgery for 12 weeks. After 14 days of primary immunization, rats were administered YSJB or estradiol valerate (EV) for 28 days. YSJB could prevent bone destruction in the inflamed joints of rats in the OVX + CIA group. CIA promoted osteoclast differentiation significantly in the synovial membrane according to tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) staining, and OVX tended to aggravate the inflammatory reaction of CIA rats according to hematoxylin-and-eosin staining. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the synovium did not have significant changes in erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular interactor (ephrin)B2 or erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular (eph) B4 expression after YSJB treatment, but YSJB treatment reduced nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc)1 expression. The BM of rats in the OVX + CIA exhibited remarkable increases in the number of osteoclasts and NFATc1 expression, as well as significantly reduced expression of ephrinB2 and ephB4 compared with the CIA group and sham group. YSJB treatment reduced NFATc1 expression significantly but also increased ephrinB2 expression in the BM markedly. These data suggest that YSJB exhibit a bone-protective effect, it may be a promising therapeutic strategy for alleviating bone destruction in arthritis under postmenopausal conditions, and one of the mechanisms is associated with the modulation of ephrinB2 signaling.
