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

backgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a form of severe stroke, the pathology of which is tied closely to a recently discovered form of programmed cell death known as ferroptosis. Curcumin (Cur) is a common phenolic compound extracted from the rhizome of

methodsIn this study, we encapsulated Cur in NPs (Cur-NPs) and explored the effect of these Cur-NPs to enhance Cur delivery both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we evaluated the anti-ferroptosis effect of Cur-NPs in ICH model mice and erastin-treated HT22 murine hippocampal cells.

resultsThe resultant Cur-NPs were spherical and exhibited a particle size of 127.31±2.73 nm, a PDI of 0.21±0.01 and a zeta potential of -0.25±0.02 mV. When applied to Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in vitro, these Cur-NPs were nonspecifically internalized via multiple endocytic pathways, with plasma membrane microcapsules and clathrin-mediated uptake being the dominant mechanisms. Within cells, these NPs accumulated in lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Cur-NPs were capable of passing through physiological barriers in a zebrafish model system. When administrated to C57BL/6 mice, they significantly improved Cur delivery to the brain. Most notably, when administered to ICH model mice, Cur-NPs achieved superior therapeutic outcomes relative to other treatments. In a final series of experiments, these Cur-NPs were shown to suppress erastin-induced ferroptosis in HT22 murine hippocampal cells.

conclusionThese Cur-NPs represent a promising means of improving Cur delivery to the brain and thereby better treating ICH.
