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

Acyclovir (ACV) is one of the most used antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections and other relevant mucosal infections caused by viruses. Nevertheless, the low water solubility of ACV limits both its bioavailability and antiviral performance. The combination of block copolymer micelles and cyclodextrins (CDs) may result in polypseudorotaxanes with tunable drug solubilizing and gelling properties. However, the simultaneous addition of various CDs has barely been investigated yet. The aim of this work was to design and characterize ternary combinations of Pluronic® F127 (PF127), αCD and βCD in terms of polypseudorotaxane formation, rheological behavior, and ACV solubilization ability and controlled release. The formation of polypseudorotaxanes between PF127 and the CDs was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and NMR spectroscopy. The effects of αCD/βCD concentration range (0-7%
