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

Pain is one of the most debilitating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and yet remains poorly understood, especially when pain occurs in the absence of synovitis. Without active inflammation, experts most often attribute joint pain to central nervous system dysfunction. However, advances in the past 5 years in both immunology and neuroscience research suggest that chronic pain in RA is also driven by a variety of abnormal interactions between peripheral neurons and mediators produced by resident cells in the local joint environment. In this Review, we discuss these novel insights from an interdisciplinary neuro-immune perspective. We outline a potential working model for the peripheral drivers of pain in RA, which includes autoantibodies, resident immune and mesenchymal cells and their interactions with different subtypes of peripheral sensory neurons. We also offer suggestions for how future collaborative research could be designed to accelerate analgesic drug development.
