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

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease. Hormonal and surgical treatments are the most commonly used clinical therapies, but they have many sides effects or are traumatic to the body. Therefore, specific drugs for endometriosis treatment are urgently needed to develop. In this study, we identified two features of endometriosis, namely the continuous recruitment of neutrophils into the ectopic lesions and the higher uptake of glucose by ectopic cells. For the above features, we designed a glucose oxidase-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticle (BSA-GOx-NPs) that is inexpensive and facilitates large-scale production. After injection, BSA-GOx-NPs were high specifically delivered to ectopic lesions in a neutrophil-dependent manner. Furthermore, BSA-GOx-NPs deplete glucose and induce apoptosis in the ectopic lesions. Whereupon BSA-GOx-NPs produced excellent anti-endometriosis effects when administrated in both acute and chronic inflammatory phases. These results reveal for the first time that the neutrophil hitchhiking strategy is effective in chronic inflammatory disease and provide a non-hormonal and easy-to-achieve approach for endometriosis treatment.
