A green-lipped mussel prevents rheumatoid arthritis via regulation of inflammatory response and osteoclastogenesis.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by progressive joint destruction. Green-lipped mussel (GLM) has chondro-modulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, but the mechanism underlying the effect of GLM on RA is unclear. To investigate the roles of GLM on the pathogenesis of RA, we examined the effects of GLM in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice and osteoclast differentiation. GLM was orally administrated CIA mice at 3 weeks after chicken type II collagen (CII) immunizations. GLM reduced arthritis severity and the histologic score of CIA mice compared to vehicle. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17) was decreased in the ankle joints of GLM-treated CIA mice. The expression of CD4+ IL-17+ cells decreased in ex vivo splenocytes and the spleens of GLM-treated CIA mice. Moreover, GLM inhibited TRAP+ multinucleated cells among mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes/macrophages (BMM), and the expression of osteoclast-related genes in mouse BMMs and human monocytes in vitro. These results suggest that GLM has potential as a therapeutic agent that can improve disease by controlling pathologic immune cells and osteoclastogenesis.
