NADPH oxidase 4 deficiency attenuates experimental osteoarthritis in mice.
Article in RMD open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectiveLow-grade inflammation plays a pivotal role in osteoarthritis (OA) through exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS). In chondrocytes, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) is one of the major ROS producers. In this study, we evaluated the role of NOX4 on joint homoeostasis after destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) in mice.
methodsExperimental OA was simulated on cartilage explants using interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and induced by DMM in wild-type (WT) and NOX4 knockout (NOX4
resultsWhole body NOX4 deletion attenuated experimental OA in mice, with a significant reduction of the OARSI score at 8 weeks. DMM increased total subchondral bone plate (SB.Th), epiphysial trabecular thicknesses (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) in both NOX4
conclusionNOX4 deficiency restores cartilage homoeostasis, inhibits oxidative stress, inflammation and delays OA progression after DMM in mice. These findings suggest that NOX4 represent a potential target to counteract for OA treatment.
