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

Psychological stress affects the immune system and exacerbates autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the mechanisms underlying tissue inflammation during remission remain unclear. Here, we show that tube restraint stress exacerbates joint inflammation in a murine arthritis model during remission. This exacerbation required interleukin-6 (IL-6) produced by brown adipose tissue (BAT) following sympathetic activation. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes expressing the IL-6 receptor subunit gp130 were critical mediators, as IL-6 stimulated these cells to produce the neutrophil chemoattractant CXCL1. Pharmacological blockade of the β3-adrenergic receptor significantly attenuated stress-induced arthritis flares. In patients with RA, carriers of the hypofunctional Trp64Arg variant of
