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

Gouty arthritis is a very familiar inflammatory arthritis. Controlling inflammation is the key to preventing gouty arthritis. However, colchicine, the most highly represented drug used in clinical practice, has strict contraindications owing to some severe side effects. Curcumin (Cur), a natural anti-inflammatory drug, has demonstrated good safety and efficacy. However, the rapid degradation, poor aqueous solubility, and low bioavailability of Cur limit its therapeutic effect. To strengthen the effectiveness and bioavailability of Cur. Cur loaded tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (Cur-TFNAs) were synthesized to deliver Cur. Compared with free Cur, Cur-TFNAs exhibit a preferable drug stability, good biocompatibility (CCK-8 assay), ease of uptake (immunofluorescence), and higher tissue utilization (in vivo biodistribution). Most importantly, Cur-TFNAs present better anti-inflammatory effect than free Cur both in vivo and in vitro experiments through the determination of inflammation-related cytokines expression. Therefore, we believe that Cur-TFNAs have great prospects for the prevention of gout and similar inflammatory diseases.
