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

Purpose: Pseudoephedrine (PSE) has rapid absorption and metabolism, which limits its pharmacologic actions. We postulated that pseudoephedrine nanoparticles (PSE-NPs) with high bioavailability could overcome this limitation. The defensive function of PSE-NPs nanoparticles against adriamycin-induced reproductive toxicity in mice was studied. Methods: We encapsulated PSE in polylactide-polyglycolide nanoparticles (PLGA-NPs) and verified their protective activity against testicular injury in vivo and in vitro. Results: We report a promising delivery system that loads PSE into PLGA-NPs and finally assembles it into a nanocomposite particle. In vitro, PSE-NPs reduced the adriamycin-induced apoptosis of GC-1 cells significantly, improved mitochondrial energy metabolism and promoted expression of the proteins related to the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRh) receptor signaling pathway. In vivo, evaluation of sperm indices and histology showed that adriamycin could induce testicular toxicity. PSE-NPs significantly increased the sperm motility of mice, reduced the percent apoptosis and oxidative stress of testes, increased serum levels of GnRh, activated the GnRhR signaling pathway in testes and promoted expression of meiosis-related factors. Conclusion: In view of their safety and efficiency, these PSE-NPs have potential applications in alleviating adriamycin-induced reproductive toxicity.
