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

Statins are mainly used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, but recently, their anticancer role was extremely investigated. The goal of this study was to statistically optimize novel elastic nanovesicles containing rosuvastatin calcium to improve its transdermal permeability, bioavailability, and anticancer effect. The elastic nanovesicles were composed of Tween® 80, cetyl alcohol, and clove oil. The nanodispersions were investigated for their entrapment efficiency, particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, and elasticity. The optimized elastic nanovesicular dispersion is composed of 20% cetyl alcohol, 53.47% Tween 80, and 26.53% clove oil. Carboxy methylcellulose was utilized to convert the optimized elastic nanovesicular dispersion into elastic nanovesicular gels. Both the optimized dispersion and the optimized gel (containing 2% w/v carboxymethylcellulose) were subjected to in vitro release study, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, histopathological evaluation, and ex vivo permeation. The cell viability assay of the optimized gel on MCF-7 and Hela cell lines showed significant antiproliferative and potent cytotoxic effects when compared to the drug gel. Moreover, the optimized gel accomplished a significant increase in rosuvastatin bioavailability upon comparison with the drug gel. The optimized gel could be considered as a promising nanocarrier for statins transdermal delivery to increase their systemic bioavailability and anticancer effect. Graphical abstract.
