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

To determine the effects of signalling through the DR molecule on synoviocytes from RA patients, the synovial adherent cells were incubated with anti-DR antibodies. After 24 h incubation, we found the formation of multinucleated giant cells in that culture. These multinucleated giant cells showed characteristics of monocyte-macrophage lineage cells and precursor of osteoclasts. Cyclohexamide inhibited the formation of multinucleated giant cells, but not the aggregation of synovial cells, suggesting that newly synthesized proteins are associated with the cell fusion. These results revealed a new mechanism in multinucleated giant cell formation.
