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

Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) play a crucial role in the inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The highly activated NF-κB signal in SFs is responsible for most of the synovial inflammation associated with this disease. In this study, we have developed an SF-targeting liposomal system that encapsulates the NF-κB-blocking peptide (NBD peptide) HAP-lipo/NBD. HAP-lipo/NBDs demonstrated efficient SF-specific targeting in vitro and in vivo. Our study also showed a significant inhibitory effect of HAP-lipo/NBD on NF-κB activation, inflammatory cytokine release and SF migration capability after zymosan stimulation. Furthermore, the systemic administration of HAP-lipo/NBDs significantly inhibited synovial inflammation and improved the pathological scores of arthritis induced by zymosan. Thus, these results suggest that an SF-targeting NF-κB-blocking strategy is a potential approach for the development of alternative, targeted anti-RA therapies.
