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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease caused by mechanical damage and metabolic factors that support the development of low-grade inflammation. Increased levels of T helper 1 pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum of OA patients may support granulysin (GNLY) mediated cytotoxicity, which in-turn may contribute to the pathogenesis of OA. In the present study, GNLY expression and cytotoxic/apoptotic mechanisms mediated by GNLY in the peripheral blood of OA patients were assessed. A total of 40 non-obese women (median age of 64 years old) with knee OA, and 40 controls (median age 62 years old) were enrolled in the study. GNLY, IFN-γ and IL-4 expression levels were investigated in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) using flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry and/or confocal microscopy. Natural killer (NK) GNLY-mediated apoptosis through NK effectors against K-562 targets was analyzed using the PKH-26 18-h cytotoxicity assay. Serum GNLY levels were assessed using ELISA.
