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

Triptolide (TPL) is a natural compound and active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F., an Asian native woody vine widely used for over 200 years in Chinese medicine. Hot water, ethanol-ethyl acetate, and chloroform-methanol extracts are the first reported TPL preparations in the literature, and since then, several studies for application in inflammation processes and cancer are described due to the antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and immunosuppressive characteristics of the molecule. However, physicochemical properties such as poor solubility and bioavailability are the main concerns regarding the TPL safety and efficacy in clinical studies since trials have reported adverse side effects alongside the excellent TPL therapeutic effects. Here, we review the main TPL applications and issues related to the drug usage, and a comprehensive summary of diseases is provided. Special emphasis is given to drug delivery systems designed to overcome the TPL physicochemical characteristics such as poor drug solubility, and how to increase efficacy and obtain a safe drug profile.
