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

backgroundSkeletal muscle lipid deposition is a key manifestation of obesity, often accompanied by decreased exercise capacity and muscle atrophy. Skeletal muscle as the largest organ in the body, makes it challenges for designing targeted drug delivery systems. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used as a safe and efficient delivery carrier, there is limited research on LNPs that specifically target skeletal muscle.

resultsA LNP designed with five specific receptor complements on its surface, which specifically targets skeletal muscle in vivo in mice, without off-target effects on other tissues and organs. MiR-130a, a regulator of PPARG, which is a key factor in skeletal muscle lipid deposition, was encapsulated with LNP (LNP@miR-130a). In high-fat diet (HFD) mice, LNP@miR-130a effectively reduced skeletal muscle lipid deposition, increased exercise activity and enhanced muscle mass. Interestingly, the myokines in skeletal muscle have also changed which may leading to reduce the adipose tissue weight and liver lipid deposition in HFD mice.

conclusionsThese results indicated LNP@miR-130a is a promising inhibitor of skeletal muscle lipid deposition and may help alleviate obesity. This study provides new insights for obesity treatment and lays foundation for the development of targeted skeletal muscle therapeutics.
