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 high target specificity and multifunctionality of proteins has led to great interest in their clinical use. To this end, the development of delivery systems capable of preserving their bioactivity and improving bioavailability is pivotal to achieve high effectiveness and satisfactory therapeutic outcomes. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) techniques, namely electrospinning and electrospraying, have been widely explored for protein encapsulation and delivery. In this work, monoaxial and coaxial electrospinning and electrospraying were used to encapsulate alkaline phosphatase (ALP) into poly(ethylene oxide) fibres and particles, respectively, and the effects of the processing techniques on the integrity and bioactivity of the enzyme were assessed. A full morphological and physicochemical characterisation of the blend and core-shell products was performed. ALP was successfully encapsulated within monolithic and core-shell electrospun fibres and electrosprayed particles, with drug loadings and encapsulation efficiencies of up to 21% and 99%, respectively. Monoaxial and coaxial electrospinning were equally effective in preserving ALP function, leading to no activity loss compared to fresh aqueous solutions of the enzyme. While the same result was observed for monoaxial electrospraying, coaxial electrospraying of ALP caused a 40% reduction in its bioactivity, which was attributed to the high voltage (22.5 kV) used during processing. This demonstrates that choosing between blend and coaxial EHD processing for protein encapsulation is not always straightforward, being highly dependent on the chosen therapeutic agent and the effects of the processing conditions on its bioactivity.
