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

NETosis is assumed to be involved in the pathogenesis of common rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, the levels of circulating NETosis biomarkers and the extent of changes in these markers in specific rheumatic diseases are not fully understood. In this study, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentration as a non-specific marker, as well as myeloperoxidase (MPO) and citrullinated histone H3 (H3cit) as specific markers of NETosis, were investigated in SLE, RA, PsA, and AS. Analysis of covariance, accounting for sex, age and disease duration, showed that total cfDNA was elevated in SLE and AS compared with healthy subjects. Nuclear and mitochondrial cfDNA were elevated in four diseases. However, nuclear cfDNA was increased to a greater extent in SLE but mitochondrial cfDNA was higher in RA. MPO and H3cit were significantly elevated in SLE compared with other diseases, although MPO was also higher in RA. Elevated concentrations of MPO and H3cit in SLE were associated with the presence of concomitant cardiovascular diseases. The effect of biological therapy on mitochondrial cfDNA, MPO, and H3cit was also shown. The proinflammatory cytokine IL-18, implicated in the induction of NETosis, was similarly elevated in the four rheumatic diseases. Thus, the most striking signs of NETosis are found in SLE, although they are also present in RA. PsA and AS were mainly characterized by an increase in cfDNA. These data highlight characteristic changes in NETosis markers in four rheumatic diseases.
