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

hypothesisAlpha-mangostin (AMG) is a natural compound possessing strong antibacterial activity. Because of its poor water solubility, the formulations of AMG usually require high concentrations of solubilizers leading limitation for using in some clinical applications. Thus, the novel formulation of topical nanoemulsion (NE) containing AMG (AMG-NE) with optimal content of the oil phase and surfactants was developed. EXPERIMENTS: AMG was extracted, purified and used as an active ingredient of AMG-NE. Blank NEs (NEs without AMG) with varying in contents of the oil phase and surfactants and AMG-NE were prepared by the ultrasonication technique. They were investigated their physicochemical properties including antibacterial activity against

findingsBlank NEs and AMG-NE had droplet size in a range of nanometer and negative value of zeta potential. The droplet size, polydispersity index and zeta potential of blank NEs were affected by formulation compositions and sonication intensities. AMG could be loaded into a representative Blank NE at a maximum concentration of 0.2% w/w and did not cause significant changes in physicochemical properties. AMG-NE showed the antibacterial activity against
