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

Drug incompatibilities are considered as one of the most critical problems in intensive care units. In the current study, the ability of nanomaterials to prevent drug incompatibilities in clinical settings has been investigated. As a proof-of-concept, the ability of niosomes to prevent physical and chemical incompatibilities that occur upon mixing acyclovir and vancomycin during management of acute meningitis has been explored. Nanosized spherical particles loaded separately with either vancomycin or acyclovir, with high entrapment efficiency (ca. 46-56%), could be prepared, and sustained release of their entrapped cargoes have been demonstrated over time. We have shown that precipitation, degradation and loss of biological activity of drugs occurred upon mixing solutions of the free drugs. On the contrary, drugs loaded separately inside niosomal structures exhibited high stability, exceptional physical and chemical compatibilities for up to 48 h with complete preservation of the antimicrobial activity of vancomycin. This study opens a venue for a new spectrum of applications of nanomaterials in preventing clinically significant drug incompatibilities, aiming at the reduction of adverse reactions, cost and hospitalization period, and improvement of patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes.
