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

The objective of this study was to fabricate a novel drug delivery system using Soluplus® (polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer) and glycyrrhizic acid to improve solubility, bioavailability, and anti-hyperuricemic activity of aloe emodin (AE). The AE-loaded mixed micelles (AE-M) were prepared by thin-film hydration method. The optimal AE-M contained small-sized (30.13 ± 1.34 nm) particles with high encapsulation efficiency (m/m, %) of 90.3 ± 1.08%. The release rate of AE increased in the micellar formulation than that of free AE in the four media (DDW, pH 7.0; phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.4; phosphate buffer solution, pH 6.8; and hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, pH 1.2). In comparison to free AE, the pharmacokinetic study of AE-M showed that its relative oral bioavailability increased by 3.09 times, indicating that mixed micelles may promote gastrointestinal absorption. More importantly, AE-M effectively reduced uric acid level by inhibiting xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity in model rats. The degree of ankle swelling, serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-6-related inflammatory factors levels all decreased in the gouty arthritis model established via monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. Taken together, the AE-M demonstrated the potential to improve the bioavailability, anti-hyperuricemic activity, and anti-inflammation of AE.
