Suppression of P2X7R by Local Treatment Alleviates Acute Gouty Inflammation.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Objective: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis associated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) accumulation during exacerbation. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether potassium channel antagonists attenuate local inflammation in mice with monosodium urate (MSU)-induced gout. Methods: We cultured human macrophage THP-1 cells and evaluated the molecular levels of both IL-1β and potassium channels stimulated with MSU and/or potassium channel antagonists. Acute gout models were generated in IL-1β luciferase transgenic male mice using synovium-like subcutaneous air pouches with MSU injection. Their luciferase activities were monitored following potassium channel blocker treatment using the IVIS Spectrum CT imaging system. The lavages and tissues were extracted from their air pouches, followed by cell counting and pathological analysis. Results: MSU stimulation increased the gene expression levels of Conclusion: The anti-inflammatory properties of potassium channel inhibitors, especially of oATP, might point to new strategies for local anti-inflammatory therapy for acute gout.
