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

objectivesMetabolic changes are crucially involved in osteoclast development and may contribute to bone degradation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1) is known to link the cellular function of monocyte-derived macrophages to their metabolic status. As osteoclasts derive from the monocyte lineage, we hypothesised a role for Acod1 and its metabolite itaconate in osteoclast differentiation and arthritis-associated bone loss.

methodsItaconate levels were measured in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with RA and healthy controls by mass spectrometry. Human and murine osteoclasts were treated with the itaconate derivative 4-octyl-itaconate (4-OI) in vitro. We examined the impact of Acod1-deficiency and 4-OI treatment on bone erosion in mice using K/BxN serum-induced arthritis and human TNF transgenic (hTNFtg) mice. SCENITH and extracellular flux analyses were used to evaluate the metabolic activity of osteoclasts and osteoclast progenitors. Acod1-dependent and itaconate-dependent changes in the osteoclast transcriptome were identified by RNA sequencing. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing was used to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor (Hif)-1α in Acod1-mediated regulation of osteoclast development.

resultsItaconate levels in PBMCs from patients with RA were inversely correlated with disease activity. Acod1-deficient mice exhibited increased osteoclast numbers and bone erosion in experimental arthritis while 4-OI treatment alleviated inflammatory bone loss in vivo and inhibited human and murine osteoclast differentiation in vitro. Mechanistically, Acod1 suppressed osteoclast differentiation by inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase-dependent production of reactive oxygen species and Hif1α-mediated induction of aerobic glycolysis.

conclusionAcod1 and itaconate are crucial regulators of osteoclast differentiation and bone loss in inflammatory arthritis.
