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

Since their discovery in the early 1980s, polymeric micelles have been the subject of several studies as delivery systems that can potentially improve the therapeutic performance and modify the toxicity profile of encapsulated drugs by changing their pharmacokinetic characteristics. The efforts in this area have led in recent years to the advancement of several polymeric micellar formulations to clinical trials, some of which have shown promise in changing the biodistribution of the incorporated drug after intravenous administration as a means of tumour-targeted drug delivery. Recently, the possible benefit of polymeric micellar delivery in enhancing the absorption and bioavailability of incorporated drugs from alternative routes of drug administration has attracted interest. This article provides an overview of the effect of polymeric micellar delivery on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of incorporated therapeutic agents. It also aims to assess the current information on the performance of polymeric micellar delivery systems in modifying the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of the incorporated drugs in clinical trials, and to re-examine the important structural factors required for successful design of polymeric micellar delivery systems capable of inducing favourable changes in the pharmacokinetics of the encapsulated drug.
