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

It is still a clinical challenge to sustain the remission of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); thus, identifying more effective and safer agents for RA treatment remains an urgent demand. We investigated the anti-arthritic activity and potential mechanism of action of sodium Danshensu (SDSS), a structurally representative water-soluble derivative of Danshen, on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice. Our results showed that paw edema, synovium hyperplasia, bone destruction, and the serum levels of both IL-1β and IL-6 were ameliorated by SDSS (40 mg/kg·d) in CIA mice. In addition, there was no difference between SDSS and methotrexate (MTX, 2 mg/kg·3d) treatment in the above indicators. Further mechanism studies illustrated that SDSS inhibited IL-1β secretion by downregulating the HIF-1α/STAT3/NLRP3 pathway in macrophages. On the other hand, HIF-1α accumulation and HIF-1α/STAT3/NLRP3 pathway activation by IOX4 stimulation reduced the therapeutic effect of SDSS. These findings demonstrate that SDSS displays anti-arthritic activity in CIA mice and prevents proinflammatory cytokines secretion in macrophages by suppressing the HIF-1α/STAT3/NLRP3 pathway.
