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

Protein citrullination modification plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are extensively employed for clinical diagnosis of RA. However, there remains limited understanding regarding specific citrullinated proteins and their implications in the progression of RA. In this study, we screen and verify insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) as a novel citrullinated protein with significantly elevated citrullinated level in RA. Autoantibodies against citrullinated IGF2BP1 are further detected in serum and synovial fluid samples from RA patients, which are positively correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and disease activity score 28 (DAS28). Transcriptomic sequencing and functional verification show that citrullination at the R167 site of IGF2BP1 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs) by improving the mRNA stability of Semaphorin 3D (SEMA3D). Experiments in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, the classical animal model of RA, show that IGF2BP1 R176K point mutation (Igf2bp1
