Formulation and evaluation of itraconazole liposomes for Hedgehog pathway inhibition.
Article in Journal of liposome research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Itraconazole (ITZ) is an FDA-approved antifungal agent that has recently been explored for novel biological properties. In particular, ITZ was identified as a potent inhibitor of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway, a cell signalling pathway that has been linked to a variety of cancers and accounts for ∼25% of paediatric medulloblastoma (MB) cases. To date, there is not a targeted therapeutic option for paediatric MB, resulting in long-term side effects such as hormone deficiency, organ damage and secondary cancers. A primary obstacle for developing targeted therapy for brain ailments is the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which protects the brain from potentially harmful substances. Due to its size and hydrophobicity, ITZ does not penetrate the BBB. Alternatively, liposomes are being increasingly used within the clinic to increase drug bioavailability, target specificity and BBB permeability. With this in mind, we have successfully developed ITZ-containing liposomes with an optimal size for BBB penetration (<100 nm) and encapsulation efficiency (∼95%) by utilizing a continuous manufacturing approach-turbulent coaxial jet in co-flow.
