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

Purpose: Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology is a tool for in vivo nanomedicine tracking. Nanomicelle-based drug carriers could improve therapeutic outcome for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Self-assembled nanomicelles are a major type of them, and their drug-loading stability is seriously affected by the in vivo environment. Therefore, it is critical to understand the status of nanomicelles in vivo at different time points, in order to enable precise control of their dynamics to effectively deliver the drug to inflammatory joint. Methods: We applied FRET technology to elucidate the biofate of nanomicelles in an adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) mice model and inflammatory larvae zebrafish models. We explored the molecular mechanism of swertiamarin-loaded nanomicelles (SWE-NMs) in improving RA symptoms through network pharmacology, molecular docking and immunofluorescence experiments. Results: Results showed that on cellular level the nanomicelles could enter inflammatory cells and completely release most cargoes in 12 h, while in animals, the majority of nanomicelles was destroyed within 72 h. Hence, we tailored an administration scheme for RA treatment. As expected, we loaded swertiamarin into the nanomicelles (SWE-NMs). The injection every 3 days (SWE-NMs/3) displayed enhanced accumulation in arthritic joints and strong anti-RA therapeutic effect, as well as good safety profile. In addition, network pharmacology, molecular docking analysis and immunofluorescence experiments revealed that SWE-NMs might work by blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor/c-Jun N-terminal kinase/matrix metalloproteinase (EGFR/JNK/MMP9) pathway. Conclusion: In summary, this study elucidated the biofate of nanomicelles with FRET technology in RA treatment, thus providing a basis for rationally improving administration scheme and giving clue for investigating other nano delivery systems.
