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

purposeProstaglandins have potent and diverse biologic activities, but their clinical application is severely restricted, mainly due to rapid inactivation in vivo. In order to modulate the pharmacokinetics of prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)), we prepared biodegradable nanoparticles as a drug carrier.

methodsNanoparticles encapsulating PGE(1) were prepared from a blend of poly(lactic acid) homopolymer and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide) block copolymer by the solvent diffusion method in the presence of iron.

resultsPGE(1) was efficiently and stably embedded in the nanoparticles through interaction with iron, despite being relatively hydrophilic and having unstable chemical properties. Depending on the isomers and molecular weight of poly(lactic acid) selected, PGE(1) was gradually released from the nanoparticles at various rates into diluted serum in vitro. Both stable retention of PGE(1) in the nanoparticles and coating of the nanoparticles with poly(ethylene glycol) led to an extremely extended blood residence time of PGE(1), as well as preferential accumulation in vascular lesions.

conclusionsThese results suggest that the present strategy is useful to advance the clinical application of PGE(1) as a therapeutic agent for vascular disorders.
