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

backgroundNicotinamide is considered to be effective in halting the Alzheimer's disease progression. The body could absorb a limited amount of nicotinamide at a time, requiring multiple doses through a day. To overcome such an obstacle which reduces the patient compliance, a sustained/controlled delivery system could be useful.

methodNicotinamide loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were prepared and functionalized with polysorbate 80 (S80), phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidic acid (PA). The acquired particles were characterized and evaluated in respect of their cytotoxicity, biodistribution, and in vivo effectiveness through the different routes of administration.

resultsThe optimum sizes of 112 ± 1.6 nm, 124 ± 0.8 nm, and 137 ± 1.05 nm were acquired for S80-, PS-, and PA-functionalized SLNs, respectively. The in vitro cytotoxicity on SH-SY5Y cell line showed the safety of formulations except for S80-functionalized SLNs. Biodistribution study of SLNs has proved the benefits of functionalization in improving the brain delivery. The results of spatial and memory test, i.e. Morris water maze, and also histopathology and biochemical tests demonstrated the effectiveness of i.p. injection of PS -functionalized SLNs in improving the cognition, preserving the neuronal cells and reducing tau hyperphosphorylation in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease.

conclusionThe acquired PS-functionalized SLN could be a potential brain delivery system. Loaded with nicotinamide, an HDAC inhibitor, it could ameliorate the cognition impairment of rats more effectively than the conventional administration of nicotinamide, i.e. oral, in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease.
