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

In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), insufficient apoptosis of macrophages and excessive generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines are intimately connected, accelerating the development of disease. Here, a fluorinated polyamidoamine dendrimer (FP) is used to deliver miR-23b to reduce inflammation by triggering the apoptosis of as well as inhibiting the inflammatory response in macrophages. Following the intravenous injection of FP/miR-23b nanoparticles in experimental RA models, the nanoparticles show therapeutic efficacy with inhibition of inflammatory response, reduced bone and cartilage erosion, suppression of synoviocyte infiltration and the recovery of mobility. Moreover, the nanoparticles accumulate in the inflamed joint and are non-specifically captured by synoviocytes, leading to the restoration of miR-23b expression in the synovium. The miR-23b nanoparticles target Tab2, Tab3 and Ikka to regulate the activation of NF-κB pathway in the hyperplastic synovium, thereby promoting anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative responses. Additionally, the intravenous administration of FP/miR-23b nanoparticles do not induce obvious systemic toxicity. Overall, our work demonstrates that the combination of apoptosis induction and inflammatory inhibition could be a promising approach in the treatment of RA and possibly other autoimmune diseases.
