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

purposeAs a continuing effort to elucidate the impact of structure modification upon cutaneous absorption behavior, we attempted to assess the skin permeation of magnolol by methylation and acetylation.

methodsDiacetylmagnolol and 2-O-acetyl-2'-O-methylmagnolol (AMM) were designed and synthesized in this study. The anti-inflammatory activity against stimulated neutrophils and keratinocytes was evaluated to check the bioactivity of the analogues. In vitro skin absorption was investigated using nude mouse and pig skin models at both equimolar and saturated doses.

resultsMagnolol generally showed the strongest anti-inflammatory potential, followed by diacetylmagnolol and AMM. The antibacterial activity was observed for magnolol and diacetylmagnolol but not AMM. Diacetylmagnolol and AMM could be partly hydrolyzed to magnolol and 2-O-methylmagnolol after entering the skin. The hydrolysis rate of diacetylmagnolol was faster than that of AMM. The lipophilicity played a crucial role in cutaneous absorption, with AMM exhibiting the highest skin deposition. AMM accumulation within nude mouse skin was about 2.5-fold greater than that of magnolol and diacetylmagnolol. On the other hand, the transdermal penetration across the skin was lessened by methylation and esterification. This led to a superior skin targeting of AMM. Although the pharmacological activity of AMM was low, the high skin uptake and bioconversion into 2-O-methylmagnolol in the skin contributed to a greater therapeutic index (TI, skin deposition x inflammatory inhibition percentage) compared to the others. The accumulation of AMM in the hair follicles was 77.12 nmol/cm(2), which was significantly greater than that with magnolol (44.84 nmol/cm(2)) and diacetylmagnolol (26.96 nmol/cm(2)). The synthetic analogues were tolerable to the nude mouse skin.

conclusionsBased on the experimental results, we may suggest topically applied AMM as a potent and safe candidate for the treatment of cutaneous inflammation.
