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

Central nervous system acting drugs, when administered intravenously, cannot show their effect in the brain due to the difficulty in crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Levodopa is one of those drugs that are used to treat Parkinson's disease. In this study, a new liposomal levodopa delivery system that is modified with maltodextrin was developed in order to target and enhance transport through the BBB. An antioxidant, glutathione, was co-loaded in liposomes as a supportive agent and its effect on liposome stability and delivery was investigated. Glutathione co-loading had a positive effect on the viabilities of 3T3 and SH-SY5Y cells. Maltodextrin targeted liposomes showed high
