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 aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel-loaded lipid nanocapsules (LNC) in rats to assess the intrinsic effect of the dosage form on the improvement of paclitaxel oral exposure.

methodsPaclitaxel-loaded LNC were prepared and characterized in terms of size distribution, drug payload, and the kinetics of paclitaxel crystallization. Taxol, Taxol with verapamil, or paclitaxel-loaded LNC were administered orally to rats. The plasma concentration of paclitaxel was determined using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.

resultsThe average size of LNC was 60.9 +/- 1.5 nm. The drug payload of paclitaxel was 1.91 +/- 0.01 mg/g of aqueous dispersion. The encapsulation efficiency was 99.9 +/- 1.0%, and 1.7 +/- 0.1% of paclitaxel was crystallized after 24 h. The oral bioavailability of Taxol alone was 6.5%. After oral administration of paclitaxel-loaded LNC or paclitaxel associated with verapamil, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve was significantly increased (about 3-fold) in comparison to the control group (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe results indicated that LNC provided a promising new formulation to enhance the oral bioavailability of paclitaxel while avoiding the use of pharmacologically active P-gp inhibitors, such as verapamil.
