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

Cyclosporine has been established as a gold standard for its immunosuppressant action. Apart from this, the molecule is boon in treating broad spectrum of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and dry eye syndrome. The broad spectrum of cyclosporine demands efficient delivery systems by several routes. Neoral® and Sandimmune® are currently available formulations for oral route, whereas Restasis® is used for ocular delivery of cyclosporine. The available formulations serve the purpose only to a limited extent due to constraints like high molecular weight, low solubility, low permeability, bitter taste, and narrow therapeutic index of cyclosporine. Therefore, several novel formulations like microemulsion, self-emulsifying systems, nanoparticles, and microspheres were developed to overcome these constraints, exploring different routes like oral, ocular, and topical for cyclosporine. Additionally, iontophoresis and ultrasound-mediated delivery has also been studied to improve its poor permeability in topical delivery, whereas biodegradable implants were reported to increase the retention time in cornea and prolonged the release of cyclosporine by ocular route. Although these recent advances in cyclosporine delivery look promising, its clinical translation require in depth studies to deliver safe, efficacious, and stable formulation of cyclosporine. This review focuses on challenges of cyclosporine delivery and the recent advancements for overcoming the constraints.
