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

While cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major co-morbidities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the mechanism(s) that contribute to CVD in patients with RA remain to be fully elucidated. Herein, we observe that plasma concentrations of 13-series resolvin (RvT)4 negatively correlate with vascular lipid load in mouse inflammatory arthritis. Administration of RvT4 to male arthritic mice fed an atherogenic diet significantly reduces atherosclerosis. Assessment of the mechanisms elicited by this mediator demonstrates that RvT4 activates cholesterol efflux in lipid laden macrophages via a Scavenger Receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI)-Neutral Cholesterol Ester Hydrolase-dependent pathway. This leads to the reprogramming of lipid laden macrophages yielding tissue protection. Pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of macrophage SR-BI reverses the vasculo-protective activities of RvT4 in vitro and in male mice in vivo. Together these findings elucidate a RvT4-SR-BI centered mechanism that orchestrates macrophage responses to limit atherosclerosis during inflammatory arthritis.
