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) causes immunological and metabolic imbalances in tissue, exacerbating inflammation in affected joints. Changes in immunological and metabolic tissue homeostasis at different stages of RA are not well understood. Herein, the changes in the immunological and metabolic profiles in different stages in collagen induced arthritis (CIA), namely, early, intermediate, and late stage is examined. Moreover, the efficacy of the inverse-vaccine, paKG(PFK15+bc2) microparticle, to restore tissue homeostasis at different stages is also investigated. Immunological analyses of inverse-vaccine-treated group revealed a significant decrease in the activation of pro-inflammatory immune cells and remarkable increase in regulatory T-cell populations in the intermediate and late stages compared to no treatment. Also, glycolysis in the spleen is normalized in the late stages of CIA in inverse-vaccine-treated mice, which is similar to no-disease tissues. Metabolomics analyses revealed that metabolites UDP-glucuronic acid and L-Glutathione oxidized are significantly altered between treatment groups, and thus might provide new druggable targets for RA treatment. Flux metabolic modeling identified amino acid and carnitine pathways as the central pathways affected in arthritic tissue with CIA progression. Overall, this study shows that the inverse-vaccines initiate early re-establishment of homeostasis, which persists through the disease span.
