Dimethyl Fumarate Inhibits Fibroblast Like Synoviocytes-mediated Inflammation and Joint Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Inflammation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as a chronic inflammatory disorder affects around 1% of the world population. Fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS), one of the main cells in RA pathogenesis is characterized by hyperproliferation and resistance to apoptosis resulting to synovial hyperplasia. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) has been licensed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and psoriasis; however, its role in RA is unknown. DMF has immunomodulatory properties and may be considered as therapeutic approach in RA treatment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of DMF on controlling FLS-mediated synovial inflammation and joint destruction in RA. FLSs were isolated from synovial tissues of 8 patients with RA and treated with DMF. Apoptosis rate was analyzed by Annexin V-FITC. Cell proliferation was measured by carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) dye. The matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and NF-кB pathway protein (p65) mRNA expression were evaluated by RT-PCR. Also, the IL-6 production and lactate release were measured in FLS supernatant. DMF treatment decreased the cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in a dose dependent manner. DMF-treated FLS showed a reduction in IL-6 and lactate release. Moreover, it was revealed that DMF inhibited the expression of p65 and MMP3. Our data demonstrate that DMF treatment suppresses the aggressive and inflammatory features of RA FLSs. Our Results suggest that DMF might be expected to be evaluated as a therapy for RA.
