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

Adiponectin (APN) is a secreted adipokine that plays a key role in modulating energy and bone metabolism, as well as regulating inflammatory responses. The overexpression of APN has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for treating obesity and related disorders. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are promising vectors for transporting messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) molecules. This study tested whether delivering a stabilized version of adiponectin mRNA (APN mRNA) using lipid nanoparticles could reduce fat formation and promote bone repair in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that transfection with APN-LNP upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of APN, while inhibiting adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. APN-LNP enhanced osteogenic gene expression in MC3T3-E1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. It also reduced matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression in receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, suggesting an anti-resorptive effect. In vivo, a femoral fracture model was established to explore the application of APN-LNP in promoting bone healing in diet-induced obese mice. Micro-computed tomography and histology analysis indicated that intravenous injection with APN-LNP promoted bone healing. Fasting blood glucose and body weight were decreased in the APN-LNP group. Moreover, APN-LNP increased bone sialoprotein and runt-related transcription factor 2 expression in contralateral femurs, as well as interleukin-10 expression in white adipose tissues. Thus, our study provides promising preclinical data on the potential use of APN-LNP for treating bone disorders in obesity.
