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

Four different microemulsions differing in their core lipid component (triolein, canola oil, squalene, or seal oil) and containing 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-one 1,3-diiopanoate (DPIP), a potential radioimaging probe, were prepared by means of ultrasonication. The DPIP microemulsions were incubated with acetylated human low density lipoprotein (AcLDL) and the amount of DPIP transferred into AcLDL was examined. The amount of DPIP in the microemulsions expressed as DPIP/oil (w/w) was dependent on the core lipid component of the microemulsion in the order of seal oil (0.19+/-0.04, mean +/- standard deviation) > squalene (0.15+/-0.02) > canola oil (0.12+/-0.02) > triolein (0.07+/-0.004). With the exception of canola oil, all microemulsions were effective in enhancing the transfer of DPIP into AcLDL in comparison with commonly used methods, i.e., direct diffusion and detergent solubilization. DPIP in seal oil resulted in the highest amount of DPIP transferred into AcLDL [309.16+/-34.82 vs. 203.19+/-64.51 using squalene and 151.31+/-28.54 using triolein (DPIP molecules per AcLDL particle)]. For the first time, oil from harp seals, was studied as a major core lipid component of formulating pharmaceutical microemulsions. DPIP in seal oil resulted in the highest transfer of DPIP into AcLDL which is likely due to the highest DPIP concentration found in this microemulsion as well as the high fluidity of seal oil.
