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

Atherosclerosis gives rise to blood vessel occlusion associated with blood flow alteration and substantial increase of average wall shear stress. This modification was proved acting as a purely physical trigger for targeted vasodilator release from a particular type of liposomes composed of 1,3-diaminophospholipids (Pad-PC-Pad). The flow-induced structural changes of these faceted liposomes, however, are completely unknown. Therefore, spatially resolved small-angle X-ray scattering was combined with microfluidics to uniquely study the purely physical mechanisms, which give rise to the highly efficient drug release from mechanoresponsive liposomes of nanometer size. The microfluidic device, designed to mimic a stenotic blood vessel, consisted of a 1-mm-wide channel with a constriction, 125 ​μm in diameter. Here, the changes of the average bilayer thickness and the mean size of the mechanoresponsive liposomes have been locally detected under flow conditions. Overall shape and bilayer thickness do change already near the constriction inlet, but the alteration is dominant near the outlet. At a flow rate of 0.2 ​μL/s, the liposome's bilayer thickness increased by 30
