Characterization of liposomal carriers for the trans-scleral transport of Ranibizumab.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in the modern world. The standard treatment regimen for neovascular AMD is the monthly/bimonthly intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents such as ranibizumab or aflibercept. However, these repeated invasive injections can lead to sight-threatening complications. Sustained delivery by encapsulation of the drug in carriers is a way to reduce the frequency of these injections. Liposomes are biocompatible, non-toxic vesicular nanocarriers, which can be used to encapsulate therapeutic agents to provide sustained release. The protein encapsulation was performed by a modified dehydration-rehydration (DRV) method. The liposomes formed were characterized for size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, stability, in vitro release, and ex vivo release profiles. In addition, the localization of the liposomes themselves was studied ex vivo. Entrapment-efficiency of ranibizumab into 100-nm liposomes varied from 14.7 to 57.0%. Negatively-charged liposomes prepared from DPPC-DPPG were found to have the slowest release with a low initial burst release compared to the rest of liposomal formulations. The ex vivo protein release was found to slower than the in vitro protein release for all samples. In conclusion, the DPPC-DPPG liposomes significantly improved the encapsulation and release profile of ranibizumab.
