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

As a leading cause of vision impairment of the retina, macular edema (ME) has one of the highest clinical demands for treatment. Current treatment of ME relies heavily on invasive techniques resulting in complications and poor patient compliance. To enhance the efficiency of triamcinolone acetonide as eye drop to the posterior segment of the eye, we developed and characterized a novel formulation, namely, triamcinolone acetonide chitosan-coated liposomes (TA-CHL), prepared by the calcium acetate gradient method with some modifications. TA-CHL provided the mean particle size of 135.46 ± 4.49 nm and high entrapment efficiency (90.66 ± 3.21%), exhibited a sustained release profile, excellent physical stability, and no significant toxicity on cornea, conjunctiva, and retina. Optical coherence tomography system (OCT) was used to detect pharmacokinetics of CHL in vivo, indicating that CHL had good potency for drug delivery. Cellular uptake experiments showed CHL had the higher transduction efficiency into HCEC and ARPE-19 than liposomes. TA-CHL was shown to be potentially effective eye drop to contribute to the posterior segment of the eye.
