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

backgroundHypoxia can affect the occurrence and development of inflammation in humans, but its effects on the disease progression of osteoarthritis (OA) remain unclear. Synovial macrophages play an essential role in the progression of arthritis. Specifically, the activation of the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) in macrophages induces the secretion of a series of inflammatory factors, accelerating the progression of OA.

methodsThe effects of CBR-470-1 were assessed in a mouse model of OA induced by destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) by micro-computed tomography imaging, Safranin-O and Fast Green staining, immunofluorescence staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western Blot analysis was used to explore the underlying mechanism of these experimental results. Additionally, a co-culture system of THP-1 and chondrocytes was established to investigate the impact of CBR-470-1 on chondrocyte proliferation, apoptosis, migration and the regulation of chondrocyte-related proteins within the system.

resultsIn hypoxic conditions, CBR-470-1 significantly inhibited the progression of OA in the DMM-induced OA mouse model, but that effect disappeared in the DMM-induced OA phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1)

conclusionsThis study conducted a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments, revealing that hypoxia plays a pro-inflammatory role by increasing PGK1 activity and reducing the binding of the deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 to NLRP3, thereby reducing the ubiquitination level of NLRP3. CBR-470-1, a specific inhibitor of PGK1, can reduce PGK1 activity to reverse the role of hypoxia in the progression of OA. These findings lay a foundation for the development of OA treatment in a hypoxic environment. KEY POINTS: Hypoxia plays a pro-inflammatory role by increasing PGK1 activity and thereby decreasing the ubiquitination level of NLRP3. Hypoxia plays a pro-inflammatory role by increasing PGK1 activity, reducing the binding of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP14 to NLRP3, and reducing the ubiquitination level of NLRP3. CBR-470-1 reverses the role of hypoxia in the progression of osteoarthritis.
