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

purposeAlthough neuro-active peptides are highly potent as central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics, their systemic delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is limited due to lack of permeability in the brain and rapid systemic metabolism. In this study, we aimed at enhancing the brain delivery and stability of chemically modified [D-Arg(2), Lys(4)]-dermorphin-(1-4)-amide)] (DALDA) peptide to achieve prolonged analgesic effects.

methodsThe C8-DALDA peptide analog was encapsulated in an oil-in-water nanoemulsion formulation made specifically with oils rich in omega-3 rich polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) to enhance CNS availability. The nanoemulsion formulation was administered systemically in CD-1 mice and qualitative and quantitative biodistribution was evaluated. We have also examined the effect of curcumin, which is known to down-regulate efflux transporters and inhibit systemic metabolism, on the pharmacokinetic properties of the peptide.

resultsQualitative and quantitative biodistribution and pharmacokinetic studies in mice clearly demonstrated improved plasma and brain exposure of modified DALDA when administered in nanoemulsion, thereby providing an exciting opportunity towards improved efficacy and/or lowered dose of the peptide. The various dosing regimens tested for modified DALDA solution and curcumin nanoemulsion directed towards a novel combination strategy for improved systemic delivery of peptides across the BBB.

conclusionsEncapsulation of the drug in PUFA nanoemulsion is an effective strategy for delivery of peptides. This work provides a novel combination strategy for improved delivery of peptides to the brain.
