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

Current clinical interventions lack effective strategies to arrest temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) progression. Emerging evidence highlights the therapeutic potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) in osteoarthritis (OA) management, though critical challenges persist regarding delivery efficiency, including unsatisfactory cellular uptake, immunogenicity, and structural instability of miRNA-based therapeutics. Considering the powerful editability of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) for gene delivery, a novel nanoscale gene delivery system using tetrahedral framework nucleic acids functionalized with miR-143-3p (tFNAs-143) is engineered. Through comprehensive in vivo modeling of TMJOA destabilization and in vitro simulation of IL-1β-induced inflammatory microenvironments, the therapeutic efficacy and molecular mechanisms underlying OA pathophysiology of tFNAs-143 are systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that tFNAs-143 exhibits excellent cellular internalization in chondrocytes and effectively mitigates TMJOA progression by impeding ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis. This study advances miRNA delivery technology for TMJOA therapy, deepens the insights into TMJOA pathogenesis, and proposes a promising nanotherapeutic strategy for developing targeted TMJOA therapies.
