Intra-Articular Injections of Curcumin Monoglucuronide TBP1901 Suppresses Articular Cartilage Damage and Regulates Subchondral Bone Alteration in an Osteoarthritis Rat Model.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
objectiveCurcumin monoglucuronide (TBP1901) is highly water soluble and can convert to free form curcumin, which has pharmacological effects, on intravenous administration. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of TBP1901 intra-articular injections in an osteoarthritis (OA) rat model.
methodsSixty-four male Wistar rats (12 weeks old) who underwent destabilized medial meniscus (DMM) surgery were randomly separated into the TBP1901 injection or saline solution (control) injection group. They were sacrificed at 1, 2, 6, or 10 weeks postoperatively (weeks 1, 2, 6, and 10;
resultsTBP1901 injections significantly reduced synovial inflammation at weeks 1 and 2, and tumor necrosis factor-α expression in the articular cartilage at week 6. The TBP1901 injections also significantly suppressed articular cartilage damage, subchondral bone (SB) plate thickening, SB plate perforation, and osteophyte formation at week 10.
conclusionsTBP1901 intra-articular injections suppressed synovial inflammation in the acute phase of PTOA in DMM rats. In the chronic phase, TBP1901 suppresses articular cartilage damage and regulates SB plate changes.
