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

We designed a novel lyophilization method using controlled rate slow freezing (CSF) with lyoprotective agent (LPA) to achieve intact lipid nanovesicles after lyophilization. During the freezing step, LPA prevented water supercooling, and the freezing rate was controlled by CSF. Regulating the freezing rate by various liquid media was a crucial determinant of membrane disruption, and isopropanol (freezing rate of 0.933 °C/min) was the optimal medium for the CSF system. Lyophilized lipid nanovesicle using both CSF and LPA retained 92.9% of the core material and had uniform size distributions (Z-average diameter = 133.4 nm, polydispersity index = 0.144), similar to intact vesicles (120.7 nm and 0.159, respectively), after rehydration. Only lyophilized lipid nanovesicle using both CSF and LPA showed no changes in membrane fluidity and polarity. This lyophilization method can be applied to improve storage stability of lipid nanocarriers encapsulating drugs while retaining their original activity.
