Ketoprofen Associated with Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for Temporomandibular Disorder Treatment: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a public health problem that affects around 12% of the global population. The treatment is based on analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or arthrocentesis associated with hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplementation. However, the use of hyaluronic acid alone in viscosupplementation does not seem to be enough to regulate the intra-articular inflammatory process. So, we propose to develop and evaluate the physicochemical and biological properties in vitro of hyaluronic acid hydrogels (HA) associated with ketoprofen (KET) as a new therapeutic treatment for TMD. The hydrogels were synthesized with 3% HA and 0.125, 0.250, 0.500, or 1% KET. Physicochemical analyses of Attenuated Total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetry (TGA), Rheology by Frequency, Amplitude sweeps, temperature ramp, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed with or without sterilization and cycled. Cytocompatibility and genotoxicity (micronucleus assay) were performed in mouse macrophages (RAW 264-7) for 24 h. Results: FTIR spectrum showed characteristic absorptions of HA and KET. In the TGA, two mass loss peaks were observed, the first representing the water evaporation at 30 and 100 °C, and the second peaks between 200 and 300 °C, indicating the degradation of HA and KET. Rheology tests in the oscillatory regime classified the hydrogels as non-Newtonian fluids, time-dependent, and thixotropic. Mouse macrophages (RAW 264-7) presented viability of 83.6% for HA, 50.7% for KET, and 92.4%, 66.1%, 65.3%, and 87.7% for hydrogels, in addition to the absence of genotoxicity. Conclusions: Hyaluronic acid associated with ketoprofen shows satisfactory physicochemical and biological properties for use as viscosupplementation. As a limiting point of this study, further research is needed to evaluate the pharmacodynamic, toxicological, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of a complete organism.
