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), a chronic and debilitating autoimmune inflammatory disease, is critically driven by macrophages within the inflamed synovium. The inflammatory cascade is sustained by a synergistic imbalance between macrophage pyroptosis and metabolic dysfunction, resulting in the formation of a dual barrier to effective intervention. GSDME-targeted siRNA delivery effectively blocks pyroptosis; however, uncorrected metabolic defects leave "saved" macrophages in a proinflammatory state, thereby aggravating RA. To address this "dual dilemma", folic acid-modified macrophage membrane-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (FA-MMLNPs) were engineered for spatiotemporally coordinated codelivery of GSDME siRNA (siG) and 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI). The biomimetic membrane promotes inflammatory homing, folic acid enhances FR-positive macrophage endocytosis, and the lipid core protects the siRNA and ensures synchronous release. Mechanistically, SiG inhibits pyroptosis, whereas 4-OI restores mitochondrial metabolism to reprogram macrophages to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. This integrated material platform organically combines pathway-specific gene silencing, metabolic correction, and precise biointerface engineering, providing a versatile paradigm for material design in RA and other inflammation-driven diseases.
