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

The infiltration and excessive polarization of M1 macrophages contribute to the induction and persistence of low-grade inflammation in joint-related degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). The lipid metabolism dysregulation promotes M1 macrophage polarization by coordinating the compensatory pathways of the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Here, a self-assembling, licofelone-loaded nanoparticle (termed LCF-CSBN), comprising chondroitin sulfate and bilirubin joined by an ethylenediamine linker, is developed to selectively reprogram lipid metabolism in macrophage activation. LCF-CSBN is internalized by M1 macrophages via CD44-mediated endocytosis and targets the Golgi apparatus accompanied with the reactive oxygen species-responsive release of licofelone (LCF, dual inhibitor of arachidonic acid metabolism). LCF-CSBN effectively promotes M1 to M2 macrophage transition by reprogramming the Golgi apparatus-related sphingolipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism. Intra-articularly injected LCF-CSBN retains in the joint for up to 28 days and accumulates into M1 macrophages. Moreover, LCF-CSBN can effectively attenuate joint inflammation, oxidative stress, and cartilage degeneration in OA model rats. These findings indicate the promising potential of lipid-metabolism-reprogramming LCF-CSBN in the targeted therapy of OA.
