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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and infiltration of immune cells (~ 90% neutrophils) into inflamed joints. Neutrophils have demonstrated the ability to transdifferentiate into 'neutrophil-dendritic cell hybrids' or N-DCs, acquire antigen presenting properties (HLA-DR/CD80/CD86) and demonstrate enhanced oxidative stress. Classical neutrophils rely mainly on glycolysis, but the bioenergetics of N-DCs remains poorly defined. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess the impact of methotrexate (MTX) on neutrophils with regard to their transdifferentiation and bioenergetics. The ex-vivo effect of MTX on neutrophils sourced from healthy controls was studied (+/- Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, PMA) in terms of CD83
