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 (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, with intra-articular (IA) delivery of therapeutics being the current best option to treat pain and inflammation. However, IA delivery is challenging due to the rapid clearance of therapeutics from the joint and the need for repeated injections. Thus, there is a need for long-acting delivery systems that increase the drug retention time in joints with the capacity to penetrate OA cartilage. As pharmaceutical utility also demands that this is achieved using biocompatible materials that provide colloidal stability, our aim was to develop a nanoparticle (NP) delivery system loaded with the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib that can meet these criteria. We devised a reproducible and economical method to synthesize the colloidally stable albumin NPs loaded with celecoxib without the use of any of the following conditions: high temperatures at which albumin denaturation occurs, polymer coatings, oils, Class 1/2 solvents, and chemical protein cross-linkers. The spherical NP suspensions were biocompatible, monodisperse with average diameters of 72 nm (ideal for OA cartilage penetration), and they were stable over 6 months at 4 °C. Moreover, the NPs loaded celecoxib at higher levels than those required for the therapeutic response in arthritic joints. For these reasons, they are the first of their kind. Labeled NPs were internalized by primary human articular chondrocytes cultured from the knee joints of OA patients. The NPs reduced the concentration of inflammatory mediator prostaglandin E
