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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the azithromycin cationic non-lecithoid nano/microparticles with high bioavailability and lung targeting efficiency.

methodsThe cationic niosomes with different sizes (AMCNS-S and AMCNS-L) along with varied built-in characteristics were produced to achieve high bioavailability and lung targeting efficiency of azithromycin (AM) via two administration routes widely used in clinical practice, i.e., oral and intravenous routes, instead of transdermal route (by which the only marketed niosome-based drug delivery dermatologic products were given). The possible explanations for improved bioavailability and lung targeting efficacy were put forward here.

resultsAMCNS-S (or AMCNS-L) had high bioavailability, for example, the oral (or intravenous) relative bioavailability of AMCNS-S (or AMCNS-L) to free AM increased to 273.19% (or 163.50%). After intravenous administration, AMCNS-S (or AMCNS-L) had obvious lung targeting efficiency, for example, the lung AM concentration of AMCNS-S (or AMCNS-L) increased 16 (or 28) times that of free AM at 12 h; the AM concentration of AMCNS-S (or AMCNS-L) in lung was higher than that in heart and kidney all the time.

conclusionsThe development of niosome-based AM nanocarriers provides valuable tactics in antibacterial therapy and in non-lecithoid niosomal application.
