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

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation, progressive destruction of articular cartilage, and subchondral bone sclerosis. When compared to individual treatment, the combined administration of genes and small-molecule drugs for osteoarthritis may not only provide superior inflammation control and pain relief, but may also repair cartilage damage. Here, cationic liposomes (CL) were used to deliver small hydrophobic drugs and microRNA into chondrocytes to treat osteoarthritis. Lornoxicam cationic liposomes (Lnxc-CL) were prepared by film dispersion, and loaded with microRNA-140 (miR-140) by electrostatic interaction to obtain cationic liposomes co-loaded with lornoxicam and miR-140 (Lnxc-CL/miR-140). The prepared Lnxc-CL/miR-140 had a particle size of 286.6 ± 7.3 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.261 ± 0.029 and zeta potential of 26.5 ± 0.5 mV and protected miR-140 from RNase degradation for 24 h. Lnxc-CL/miR-140 was evaluated for its ability to regulate gene expression in chondrocytes in vitro and to provide in vivo therapeutic effects for knee osteoarthritis in rats. The results of in vitro uptake experiments and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis showed that Lnxc-CL/miR-140 efficiently delivered miR-140 into chondrocytes and up-regulated the expression of miR-140 and COL2A1 mRNA. Pharmacodynamics studies demonstrated that Lnxc-CL/miR-140 effectively treated osteoarthritis by eliminating joint inflammation and repairing damaged cartilage cells, with superior therapeutic effects compared to Lnxc or miR-140 alone. Overall, the findings of this study support the co-delivery of Lnxc and miR-140 with cationic liposomes as a potential new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
