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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that progresses from synovial inflammation to cartilage and bone destruction. Eliminating pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages is a promising strategy for RA treatment, but is impeded by cytoprotective autophagy. Herein, we report an effective autophagy blockage-promoted apoptosis/ferroptosis strategy using multifunctional ferric phosphate-decorated, methotrexate-loaded polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPy-FePi-MTX NPs) to achieve enhanced RA treatment effects. When injected into the knee joints of a collagen-induced DBA/1J mouse model of RA, the payloads on PPy NPs are released under the stimulation of an inflammatory microenvironment. The released MTX can directly induce M1 macrophage apoptosis. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation, the photothermal effect of PPy NPs further promotes cellular apoptosis. In addition, Fe
