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

Treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) by administration of corticosteroids is a commonly used method in clinics using anti-inflammatory medicine. Oral administration or intra-articular injection of corticosteroids can reduce the pain and progress of cartilage degeneration, but they are usually insufficient to show local and long-term anti-inflammatory effects because of their fast clearance in the body. In this study, we suggest an injectable anti-OA drug depot system for sustained drug release that provides long-term effective therapeutic advantages. Amphiphilic poly(organophosphazene), which has temperature-dependent nanoparticle forming and sol-gel transition behaviors when dissolved in aqueous solution, was synthesized for triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) delivery. Because hydrophobic parts of the polymer can interact with hydrophobic parts of the TCA, the TCA was encapsulated into the self-assembled polymeric nanoparticles. The TCA-encapsulated polymeric nanoparticles (TePNs) were well dispersed in an aqueous solution below room temperature so that they can be easily injected as a sol state into an intra-articular region. However, the TePNs solution transforms immediately to a viscose 3D hydrogel like a synovial fluid in the intra-articular region via the conducted body temperature. An
