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

Intra-articular injections are the most direct route for administering osteoarthritis (OA) therapies, yet how drug carriers distribute within the joint remains understudied. To this end, we developed a magnetic composite nanoparticle that can be tracked with fluorescence in vivo via an in vivo imaging system (IVIS), and quantified ex vivo via electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Using this particle, the effects of age and OA pathogenesis on particle clearance and distribution were evaluated in the medial meniscus transection model of OA (5-, 10-, and 15-month old male Lewis rats). At 9 weeks after meniscus transection, composite nanoparticles were injected and joint clearance was assessed via IVIS. At 2 weeks after injection, animals were euthanized and particle distribution was quantified ex vivo via EPR spectroscopy. IVIS and EPR spectroscopy data indicate a predominant amount of particles remained in the joint after 14 days. EPR spectroscopy data suggests particles cleared more slowly from OA knees than from the contralateral control, with particles clearing more slowly from 15-month old rats than from 5- and 10-month old rats. This study demonstrates the importance of including both age and OA as factors when evaluating nanoparticles for intra-articular drug delivery.
