TNF-Alpha Inhibitor Prevents Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Cell Death in Osteoarthritis-Derived Chondrocytes in Culture.
Article in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Smoking has been associated, among other factors, with musculoskeletal disorders. Although there is no consensus about the effects of smoking on osteoarthritis (OA), the increase in TNF-alpha in smokers has been considered an important factor in OA induction or progression. However, studies on the effects of smoking on chondrocytes are lacking. Here we aimed to study the effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) associated with a TNF-alpha inhibitor on cell death of primary human chondrocytes derived from osteoarthritic patients. CSE at 10% led to cell death by apoptosis after 48 h of incubation, together with caspase 3/7 activation, decrease in mitochondrial transmembrane potential, ROS production, and improvement in
