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

Every day, thousands of patients receive erythrocyte concentrates (ECs). They are indispensable for modern medicine, despite their limited resource. Artificial oxygen carriers (AOCs) represent a promising approach to reduce the need for ECs. One form of AOCs is perfluorodecalin-filled albumin-based nanocapsules. However, these AOCs are not storable and need to be applied directly after production. In this condition, they are not suitable as a medicinal product for practical use yet. Lyophilization (freeze drying) could provide the possibility of durable and applicable nanocapsules. In the present study, a suitable lyophilization process for perfluorodecalin-filled nanocapsules was developed. The nanocapsules were physicochemically characterized regarding capsule size, polydispersity, and oxygen capacity. Even though the perfluorodecalin-filled albumin-based nanocapsules showed a loss in oxygen capacity directly after lyophilization, they still provided a remarkable residual capacity. This capacity did not decline further for over two months of storage. Furthermore, the nanocapsule size remained unaltered for over one year. Therefore, the AOCs were still applicable and functional after long-term storage due to the successful lyophilization.
