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

backgroundPsoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease without effective treatment. The utilization of all trans-retinoic acid (TRA) and betamethasone (BT) for the treatment of psoriasis is still facing difficulties, due to their relatively poor stability, limited skin permeation, and systemic side effects. Flexible liposomes are excellent in deeper skin permeation and reducing the side effects of drugs, which is promising for effective treatment of skin disorders. This work aimed to establish dual-loaded flexible liposomal gel for enhanced therapeutic efficiency of psoriasis based on TRA and BT.

resultsFlexible liposomes co-loaded with TRA and BT were successfully prepared in our study. The characterization examination revealed that flexible liposomes featured nano-sized particles (around 70 nm), high drug encapsulation efficiency (> 98%) and sustained drug release behaviors. Flexible liposomes remarkably increased the drug skin permeation and retention as compared with free drugs. Results on HaCaT cells suggested that flexible liposomes were nontoxic, and its cellular uptake has a time-dependent manner. In vivo studies suggested the topical application of TRA and BT dual-loaded liposomal gel had the best ability to reduce the thickness of epidermal and the level of cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), largely alleviating the symptoms of psoriasis.

conclusionsFlexible liposomal gel dual-loaded with TRA and BT exerted a synergistic effect, which is a promising topical therapeutic for the treatment of psoriasis.
