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 evaluate the specifically targeted efficiency of budesonide loaded PLGA nanoparticles for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

methodsThe nanoparticles were prepared by an oil/water (O/W) emulsion evaporation technique. The nanoparticles were characterized for their size, shape and in vitro drug release profile. Solid state characterization was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray Power diffraction (XPRD). In order to evaluate the targeted efficiency of nanoparticles, a particle localization study in the healthy and in the inflamed colon was determined in vivo. These data were complemented by cryo-sections.

resultsNanoparticles were 200 ± 05 nm in size with a smooth and spherical shape. The encapsulation efficiency was around 85 ± 3.5%, which was find-out by both, direct and indirect methods. Release of budesonide from the nanoparticles showed a biphasic release profile with an initial burst followed by sustained release. XPRD data revealed that the drug in the polymer matrix existed in crystalline state. Nanoparticles accumulation in inflamed tissues was evaluated by in-vivo imaging system and it was found that particles are accumulated in abundance at the site of inflammation when compared to the healthy group.

conclusionThe study demonstrates that the budesonide loaded PLGA nanoparticles are an efficient delivery system for targeted drug delivery to the inflamed intestinal mucosa.
