Androgen Exhibits a Protective Role Against Focal Erosions in Murine TNF-induced Inflammatory Arthritis.

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.
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) is characterized by erosive pathology associated with joint inflammation and a sexual dimorphism with increased prevalence in females. Here, we aim to determine whether androgen is protective against inflammatory-erosive disease in TNF-transgenic (TNF-Tg) mice. Wild-type (WT) and TNF-Tg male mice underwent sham (WT, n = 3; TNF-Tg, n = 7) or orchiectomy (WT, n = 3; TNF-Tg, n = 7) surgery at 1 month old to remove androgen production confirmed by serum testosterone concentration. Cohorts of orchiectomized TNF-Tg males were treated with either 5ɑ-dihydrotestosterone (.025 mg/day) (n = 3) or placebo (n = 3) via subcutaneous pellet insertion. Weekly clinical measures, along with mid-hindpaw bone volumes and ankle histology at 3 months old were evaluated for all groups. Orchiectomies in TNF-Tg males significantly decreased serum testosterone (
