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

backgroundOur previous research has shown that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Gram-negative bacteria in the intestine promoted rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after entering peripheral blood, but the specific molecular mechanism was unclear.

methodThis study used transcriptome and proteomic sequencing, western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), cell co-culture, and other related methods to investigate whether LPS entering peripheral blood activated the Wnt7b secretion in macrophages, and used the Wnt7b as a messenger molecule to promote the communication between macrophage-fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLSs), ultimately leading to the onset of RA.

resultThe results showed that LPS significantly promoted the pathology of collagen induced arthritis (CIA) mice. Transcriptome and proteomic sequencing, as well as experimental validation, confirmed that the target of LPS may be the Wnt7b. Knocking down the Wnt7b in CIA mice could effectively alleviate the LPS induced pathology. Furthermore, in the M

conclusionThis study suggested that circulating LPS stimulated macrophages to secrete Wnt7b, which acted as a messenger molecule and bound to the FZD8 receptor on the FLSs cell membrane in the synovial microenvironment, promoting the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in FLSs and leading to RA.
