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

Diabetes mellitus is an incurable metabolic disorder that seriously threatens human health. At present, there is no effective medication available to defeat it. This work intended to develop selenium-coated nanostructured lipid carriers (SeNLCs) for enhancing the oral bioavailability and the curative effect of berberine, an antidiabetic phytomedicine. Berberine-loaded SeNLCs (BB-SeNLCs) were prepared by hot-melt dispersion/homogenization procedure followed by in situ reduction. BB-SeNLCs were characterized by particle size, morphology, entrapment efficiency (EE) and in vitro release. Pharmacokinetics of berberine solution, berberine-loaded NLCs (BB-NLCs) and BB-SeNLCs were studied in Sprague Dawley rats administered by oral gavage. The prepared BB-SeNLCs were around 160 nm in particle size with an EE of 90%. In addition, BB-SeNLCs exhibited a better sustained release of berberine compared to the plain NLCs. After oral administration, BB-SeNLCs greatly enhanced the oral bioavailability of berberine, which was approximately 6.63 times as much as that of berberine solution. The hypoglycemic effect of BB-SeNLCs was also significantly superior to that of BB-NLCs and berberine solution. It turned out that sustained drug release and good intestinal absorption, plus the synergy of selenium, were basically responsible for enhanced oral bioavailability and hypoglycemic effect. Our findings show that SeNLCs are promising nanocarriers for oral delivery of berberine to strengthen the antidiabetic action.
