Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Tacrolimus/Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Eye Drops in an Endotoxin-Induced Uveitis Model.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundUveitis is an infrequent disease which constitutes a major cause of ocular morbidity. Correct management is essential, being corticosteroids its cornerstone. In case of contraindication to corticosteroids or treatment failure, the use of topical tacrolimus (TAC) could be an alternative which has already demonstrated safety and effectiveness in other ocular pathologies. However, TAC eye drops are not marketed, thus their elaboration must be carried out in Hospital Pharmacy Departments (HPDs).
methods32 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups of 8 rats each: (a) untreated healthy rats (Healthy); (b) untreated Endotoxin-Induced Uveitis model-rats (EIU); (c) EIU-rats treated with standard treatment of dexamethasone ophthalmic drops (DXM) and (d) EIU-rats treated with TAC-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin eye drops previously developed by our group (TAC-HPβCD). The mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, MIP-1α and TNF-α, quantitative analysis of leucocytes in aqueous humor and histological evaluation were performed.
resultsTAC-HPβCD eye drops demonstrated to reduce ocular inflammation, expression of IL-6, TNF-α, MIP-1α and leukocyte infiltration in aqueous humor.
conclusionsTAC-HPβCD eye drops showed beneficial effect in EIU model in rats, positioning as an alternative for uveitis treatment in case of corticosteroids resistance or intolerance.
