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

Liposomal membrane elasticity is a controlling parameter in designing liposome-based drug delivery systems and significantly affects biodistribution and biofunctional effects. Although extensively investigated in tumor models, the impact of liposomal membrane elasticity on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains underexplored. RA presents unique challenges, such as tortuous blood vessels, increased permeability, and chronic inflammation, which necessitate a specialized drug delivery strategy. This study aims to address these challenges by developing an engineered mimicry of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that is based on a lipid/polymer hybrid system incorporating poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-b-PCL-b-PEO) to improve mechanical robustness and therapeutic performance.Tri-ARTEX is developed as a lipid/polymer hybrid liposome encapsulating stem cell extract (CE) and microRNA (AntagomiR155), and tuned its membrane elasticity by varying the PEO-b-PCL-b-PEO fraction. Tri-ARTEX exhibited enhanced cellular uptake in Raw 264.7 macrophages as the PEO-b-PCL-b-PEO fraction increases. However, semi-elastic Tri-ARTEX
