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 treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) recently has been revolutionized by the introduction of protein-based biologic therapies. However, biologic therapy is complicated by the requirement for administration with a needle, systemic side effects, and high cost. Particulate drug delivery systems have been shown to deliver drugs locally to the intestinal mucosa via oral administration. However, these systems have been largely unexplored for the delivery of biologics due to harsh particle fabrication conditions and the tendency of many particulate formulations to dissolve in the acidic upper GI tract. We have, therefore, fabricated an inexpensive and non-toxic novel microparticle capable of encapsulating proteins. We establish that the particle retains its contents at acidic pH and releases them at neutral pH. We also demonstrate particulate encapsulation of interleukin-10 (IL-10), a protein relevant to the treatment of IBD, at an encapsulation efficiency of 14.3 percent. Such a vehicle is promising for its oral route of administration and potential to decrease side effects and increase potency of biologics.
