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

objectiveSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a type of autoimmune disease that involves multiple organs involved as well as cytokine dysregulation. The treatment of SLE is still challenging due to the side effects of the different drugs used. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a kinase involved in T cell homeostasis and autoinflammation. Although clinical trials have shown that RIPK1 inhibition exhibits significant efficacy in different autoimmune diseases, its role in SLE remains unclear.

methodsMRL/lpr lupus-prone mice received RIPK1 inhibitor ZJU37 or vehicle intraperitoneally for 10 weeks. A BM12-induced chronic graft-versus-host-disease (cGVHD) lupus-like model was introduced in RIPK1 D138N mice or C57BL/6 mice. Nephritis, serum autoantibody levels, dysregulation of adaptive immune response and cytokines were compared in treated and untreated mice.

resultsZJU37 alleviated the clinical features of the MRL/lpr mice including nephritis and anti-dsDNA antibody production. In addition, ZJU37 treatment reduced the proportion of double-negative T cells in the spleen and the cytokines of TNFα, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-17 and IL-1β in the serum. Moreover, RIPK1 D138N mice were able to prevent the cGVHD lupus-like model from SLE attack, manifesting as anti-dsDNA antibody production, the proliferation of germinal centre B cells, plasma cells, and T follicular helper cells as well as IgG and C3 deposits in kidneys.

conclusionRIPK1 inhibition has a protective effect in the mouse model of SLE and can potentially become a new therapeutic target for SLE in humans.
