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 clinical application of amphotericin B (AmB), a broad spectrum antifungal agent, is limited by its poor solubility in aqueous medium and also by its proven renal toxicity. In this work, AmB was encapsulated in micelles obtained from the self-assembly of PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA triblock copolymers. The amount of encapsulated AmB depended on the copolymer composition, and short blocks of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) showed better performance. All the studied formulations exhibited a controlled release of AmB along 150 h. The formulations presented reduced hemotoxicity while maintaining antifungal activities against Candida albicans, Candida krusei, and Candida glabrata comparable with free AmB. A reduction on the hemotoxicity was found to be due to the slow release and subsequent low aggregation achieved with the use of polymer micelle nanocontainers.
