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

In the osteoarthritic joint, activated macrophages release pro-inflammatory factors that promote cartilage degeneration. The CD200:CD200R immune checkpoint pathway is a promising therapeutic target that inhibits classical macrophage activation. We hypothesized that the presentation of CD200 to macrophages would shift their cytokine profile from pro-inflammatory to pro-regenerative, thereby reducing chondrocyte catabolism. CD200 encapsulated in poly(lactide-co-glycolide) microparticles (MPs) were incubated with murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. CD200 MP treatment reduced protein and gene expression of pro-inflammatory mediators in M1 macrophages and increased protein and gene expression of anti-inflammatory mediators in M2 and M1/2 macrophages. Conditioned media from CD200 MP-treated M1 macrophages reduced the expression of catabolic enzyme genes in chondrocytes. This study is the first to demonstrate that delivery of CD200 alters the inflammatory cascade and paracrine signaling to chondrocytes. There is significant potential for the CD200:CD200R inhibitory signaling pathway to be leveraged as an intra-articular treatment of OA.
