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

purposePEG-phospholipid-based micelles have been successfully used for the solubilization of several hydrophobic drugs but generally lack sustained stability in blood. Our novel PEG-Fluorocarbon-DSPE polymers were designed to increase stability and improve time-release properties of drug-loaded micelles.

methodsNovel ABC fluorous copolymers were synthesized, characterized, and used for encapsulation release of amphotericin B. FRET studies were used to study micelle stability.

resultsThe micelles formed by the new polymers showed lower critical micelle concentrations and higher viscosity cores than those formed by the polymers lacking the fluorous block. FRET studies indicated that fluorocarbon-containing micelles had increased stability in presence of human serum. Physicochemical properties and in vitro release profile of micelles loaded with Amphotericin B (AmB) were studied.

conclusionsThe effect of PEG length and fluorocarbon incorporation were investigated. The shorter hydrophilic PEG2K induced greater stability than PEG5K by decreasing the proportion of hydrophilic block of the polymer. The fluorocarbon placed between hydrophilic and hydrophobic block formed a fluorous shell contributing to the enhanced thermodynamic stability of micelles and to the drug sustained release. Polymer mPEG2K-F(10)-DSPE, bearing both a fluorocarbon block and a shorter mPEG, showed the greatest stability and the longest half-life for AmB release.
