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

backgroundThis study tested the hypothesis that combined ceftriaxone (Cef) and human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCDMSCs) was better than either therapy for alleviating acute septic arthritis (ASA). METHODS AND

resultsAdult-male C57BL/6 mice were categorized into control group (Clt), group A (ASA only), group B [ASA + Cef (5 mg/kg, IM per day, at days 2 to 16 after ASA induction)], group C [ASA + HUCDMSCs (5 × 105 per mice at days 2, 3, 4 after ASA induction)], and group D (ASA + Cef + HUCDMSCs). Animals were euthanized by day 28. The result demonstrated that the body weight was significantly lower, whereas the ratio of kidney or spleen weight to WB, circulatory WBC count, bacterial colony-formation-unit from circulatory/kidney extraction were significantly higher in group A than in other groups (all P < .001). The proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6/TNF-α) of knee joint fluid were lowest in Clt and significantly and progressively reduced from groups A to D, whereas the circulatory levels of these 2 parameters at the time points of days 3/7/28 exhibited an identical pattern as knee joint fluid among the groups (all P-value < .0001). The scores of vertebral-bone destructions/inflamed synovium were lowest in Clt, highest in group A, significantly higher in group C than in groups B/D, and significantly higher in group C than in group D (all P < .0001).

conclusionCombined antibiotics and Cef and HUCDMSCs was superior to just one therapy for suppressing circulatory and tissue levels of inflammation and knee joint destruction in ASA.
