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

purposeThis work explores synthesis of novel cholesterol derivative for the preparation of cationic liposomes and its interaction with Paclitaxel (PTX) within liposome membrane using molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and in-vitro studies.

methodsCholesteryl Arginine Ethylester (CAE) was synthesized and characterized. Cationic liposomes were prepared using Soy PC (SPC) at a molar ratio of 77.5:15:7.5 of SPC/CAE/PTX. Conventional liposomes were composed of SPC/cholesterol/PTX (92:5:3 M ratio). The interaction between paclitaxel, ligand and the membrane was studied using 10 ns MD simulation. The interactions were studied using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering analysis. The efficacy of liposomes was evaluated by MTT assay and endothelial cell migration assay on different cell lines. The safety of the ligand was determined using the Comet Assay.

resultsThe cationic liposomes improved loading efficiency and stability compared to conventional liposomes. The increased PTX loading could be attributed to the hydrogen bond between CAE and PTX and deeper penetration of PTX in the bilayer. The DSC study suggested that inclusion of CAE in the DPPC bilayer eliminates T

conclusionsThe novel cationic ligand (CAE) retains paclitaxel within the phospholipid bilayer and helps in improved drug loading and physical stability. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
