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

The current research work investigates the potential of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) in improving the oral bioavailability of paclitaxel. Paclitaxel-loaded SLNs (PTX-SLNs) were prepared by modified solvent injection method using stearylamine as lipid, soya lecithin and poloxamer 188 as emulsifiers. SLNs were characterized in terms of surface morphology, size and size distribution, surface chemistry and encapsulation efficiency. Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability studies were conducted in male Swiss albino mice after oral administration of PTX-SLNs. SLNs exhibited spherical shape with smooth surface as analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mean particle size of SLNs was 96 ± 4.4 nm with a low polydispersity index of 0.162 ± 0.04 and zeta potential of 39.1 ± 0.8 mV. The drug entrapment efficiency was found to be 75.42 ± 1.5% with a loading capacity of 31.5 ± 2.1% (w/w). Paclitaxel showed a slow and sustained in vitro release profile and followed Higuchi kinetic equations. After oral administration of the PTX-SLNs, drug exposure in plasma and tissues was ten- and twofold higher, respectively, when compared with free paclitaxel solution. PTX-SLNs produced a high mean C (max) (10,274 ng/ml) compared with that of free paclitaxel solution (3,087 ng/ml). The absorbed drug was found to be distributed in liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, and brain. The results suggested that PTX-SLNs dispersed in an aqueous environment are promising novel formulations that enhanced the oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs, like paclitaxel and were quite safe for oral delivery of paclitaxel as observed by in vivo toxicity studies.
