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

purposeColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in Taiwan; it ranks top three in the cancer mortality rate. Curcuminoids are derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa. It has shown anti-cancer activity and apoptosis induction in a variety of cancer cell lines. This aims to study the potential of Poloxamer 407 as the thermogelling and mucoadhesive polymer for development of a site-targeting delivery system to enhance the localized delivery of curcuminoids to the colorectal cells for CRC chemotherapy.

methodsThe mucoadhesive strength and rheological properties were measured as a function of poloxamer loaded with curcuminoids.

resultsThe gelation temperature of Poloxamer 407 was found to vary with its concentration and start gelling at 37°C at the concentration of 15.5% (w/v). To ensure gelation at physiological temperature after intra-rectal application, gelation temperature was determined by rheological measurement as well as by its physical appearance. The results indicated that its mucoadhesive strength also shows a dependency on temperature, which appears to be related to the increment in the maximum strength and average strength of the polymer.

conclusionThe results have suggested that Poloxamer 407 could be a potential thermogelling and mucoadhesive polymer for the development of a site-targeting colorectal drug delivery system for curcuminoids in colorectal cancer therapy.
