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

purposeThe goal of the study is to develop new hydrogels based on cyclodextrins cross-linked with ethyleneglycol diglycidylether (EGDE) under mild conditions, to be used as carriers of amphiphilic drugs. Also, it aims to characterize the cross-linking and the drug loading and release processes.

methodsThe cross-linking of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPbetaCD) with EGDE, in the absence or presence of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) Methocel K4M, was optimized applying oscillatory rheometry and Fourier transform infrared. Hydrogels were characterized regarding swelling in water, ability to load diclofenac, and release after different drying treatments.

resultsSolutions of HPbetaCD (14.28%), without or with HPMC (0.2-1.0%), provided firm and transparent hydrogels after cross-linking with EGDE (14.28%), in which around two thirds of the OH groups were cross-linked. The incorporation of HPMC progressively reduced the gel time and the swelling degree of hydrogels. HPbetaCD hydrogels efficiently loaded diclofenac and sustained the release for several hours. The presence of HPMC slowed the release from swollen hydrogels, but promoted it from hydrogels dried before the loading and also before the release.

conclusionsHPbetaCD hydrogels with good mechanical properties and tunable loading and release ability can be obtained by direct cross-linking with EGDE.
