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

Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a new biodegradable polymer with good biocompatibility used in many fields of biomedicine and drug delivery. Sunitinib-loaded PGS/gelatine nanoparticles were prepared by the de-solvation method for retinal delivery and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. The nanoparticles were characterised by Fourier-transform infrared and differential scanning calorimetry. The effects of different formulation variables including drug-to-carrier ratio, gelatine-to-PGS ratio, and glycerine-to-sebacate ratio were assessed on the encapsulation efficiency (EE%), particle size, release efficiency (RE), and zeta potential of the nanoparticles. The in vitro cytotoxicity of PGS/gelatine nanoparticles was studied on L929 cells. Draize test on rabbit eyes was also done to investigate the possible allergic reactions caused by the polymer. Glycerine/sebacic acid was the most effective parameter on the EE and RE. Gelatine-to-PGS ratio had the most considerable effect on the particle size while the RE was more affected by the glycerine/sebacic acid ratio. The optimised formulation (S
