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 goal of this study was the design and evaluation of a thiolated cyclodextrin providing high drug solubilizing and mucoadhesive properties for ocular drug delivery. Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was thiolated via a microwave-assisted method, resulting in a degree of thiolation of 33%. Mucoadhesive properties of thiolated HP-β-CD (HP-β-CD-SH) were determined via rheological measurements and ex vivo studies on isolated porcine cornea. Due to thiolation of HP-β-CD, a 2-fold increase of mucus viscosity and a 1.4-fold increase in residence time on isolated corneal tissue were achieved. After instillation, the mean precorneal residence time and AUC of dexamethasone (DMS) eye drops were 4-fold and 11.7-fold enhanced by HP-β-CD-SH, respectively. Furthermore, in the presence of HP-β-CD-SH, a constant high level of DMS in aqueous humour between 30 and 150 min after administration was observed. These results suggest that HP-β-CD-SH is an excellent excipient for ocular formulations of poorly soluble drugs in order to prolong their ocular residence time and bioavailability.
