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

Background: Wenhua Juanbi Recipe (WJR) is widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. This study was designed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of WJR on the proliferation and apoptosis of synovial fibroblasts in RA and its efficacy in inhibiting miRNA-146a-mediated cellular autophagy. Methods: A collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) Wistar rat model was established. The model rats were administered WJR or methotrexate (MTX) to assess the therapeutic effect of the drugs. The chemical components of WJR were analyzed using UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Histological changes; miRNA-146a, ATG5, ATG7, ATG12, Beclin1, LC3II, Bax, and Bcl2 expression; synovial apoptosis; and cellular proliferation were assessed. Primary synovial fibroblasts (FLS) were cultured Results: Forty and thirty-one compounds were identified in WJR in the positive and negative ion modes, respectively. WJR significantly reduced toe swelling, arthritis scores, and expression of miRNA-146a and autophagy genes (ATG5, ATG7, ATG12, Beclin1, LC32, and Bcl2). Moreover, Bax expression, apoptosis, and attenuated proliferation were observed in rats. WJR could, therefore, regulate autophagy by influencing the miRNA-146a-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which induces apoptosis and proliferation of FLS. Conclusion: WJR can inhibit autophagy, apoptosis, and proliferation in a CIA rat model by inhibiting the miRNA-146a-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.
