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

background and purposeThe PPAR-γ agonist 15d-PGJ₂ is a potent anti-inflammatory agent but only at high doses. To improve the efficiency of 15d-PGJ₂, we used poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanocapsules to encapsulate it, and function as a drug carrier system. The effects of these loaded nanocapsules (15d-PGJ₂-NC) on inflammation induced by different stimuli were compared with those of free 15d-PGJ₂. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Mice were pretreated (s.c.) with either 15d-PGJ₂-NC or unloaded 15d-PGJ₂ (3, 10 or 30 µg·kg⁻¹), before induction of an inflammatory response by i.p. injection of either endotoxin (LPS), carrageenan (Cg) or mBSA (immune response). KEY

resultsThe 15d-PGJ₂-NC complex did not display changes in physico-chemical parameters or drug association efficiency over time, and was stable for up to 60 days of storage. Neutrophil migration induced by i.p. administration of LPS, Cg or mBSA was inhibited by 15d-PGJ₂-NC, but not by unloaded 15d-PGJ₂. In the Cg model, 15d-PGJ₂-NC markedly inhibited serum levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-12p70. Importantly, 15d-PGJ₂-NC released high amounts of 15d-PGJ₂, reaching a peak between 2 and 8 h after administration. 15d-PGJ ₂ was detected in mouse serum after 24 h, indicating sustained release from the carrier. When the same concentration of unloaded 15d-PGJ₂ was administered, only small amounts of 15d-PGJ₂ were found in the serum after a few hours. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The present findings clearly indicate the potential of the novel anti-inflammatory 15d-PGJ₂ carrier formulation, administered systemically. The formulation enables the use of a much smaller drug dose, and is significantly more effective compared with unloaded 15d-PGJ₂.
