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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a type of joint injury, which can induce the activation of inflammatory factors and polarization of tissue macrophages. Total phenolics from Laggera alata (TPLA) has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effect in various diseases. However, its specific function in RA is still unknown. Here, the protective properties of TPLA were studied in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)-induced RA mice. RA mouse model was established through the CIA induction. Arthritis score, hind paw thickness, and the body weight of the RA mice were evaluated in each group. H&E staining was conducted in hind paw and joint tissues for histopathological staining. The distal femur was analyzed by microCT, and bone loss-related indicators were assessed. The expression of macrophage polarization markers was detected by immunofluorescence staining in RA mice. The serum levels of inflammatory markers were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TPLA reduced the CIA-induced arthritis score and hind paw thickness in mice. The body weight of the CIA mouse was significantly increased by TPLA treatment. TPLA improved the CIA-induced histopathological changes in the hind paw and joint tissues from the mice. TPLA inhibited the bone loss and alleviated bone destruction in CIA mouse model. TPLA altered the macrophage phenotype from M1 macrophages into M2 in CIA mice. TPLA suppressed the levels of inflammatory markers both in the serum and joint tissues of the CIA mice. TPLA mitigated RA development by suppressing inflammatory reaction through the inhibition of M1 microphage polarization.
