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

purposeMyricetin (MYR) flavonoid is well-recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor potential. Introducing nanomedicine was the ultimate resort to solve the imperfections of this nutraceutical, namely solubility, stability and delivery issues. The study, thus, aims at developing inhalable microparticles comprising MYR solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for lung cancer therapy.

methodsA two-step preparation procedure starting with complexation of MYR with the phospholipid Lipoid-S100, followed by nanoencapsulation in Gelucire-based, surfactant-free SLNs was developed. SLNs were characterized in terms of physicochemical properties, MYR loading, release behavior as well as anti-tumor potential and cellular uptake. Respirable microparticles were then obtained by spray drying SLNs with carbohydrate carriers. Their size, flowability and pulmonary deposition pattern were assessed.

resultsOptimized SLNs were 75.98 nm in diameter with a zeta-potential of -22.5 mV, and an encapsulation efficiency of 84.5%. Attempts to ameliorate drug loading implicate MYR-phospholipid complexation (MYR-PH-CPX) prior to its entrapment in SLNs, which ensured 5-fold increase in drug loading. Viability assays were modified to guarantee MYR chemical stability. Superior antitumor activity of MYR-phospholipid-complex and 3-fold reduction in IC

conclusionsThe study highlights the ability of phospholipid-complex on the nanoencapsulation, cellular uptake and antitumor activity of MYR. Formulation of respirable microparticles gives promises of efficacious therapy of lung carcinoma.
