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

backgroundThermosensitive micelles with rigid cores that exhibit a reversible lower critical solution temperature at 30-35 °C can be applied for drug delivery.

methodHydrophilic monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) was conjugated to hydrophobic deoxycholic acid to prepare monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-deoxycholic acid (mPEG-DC). Micelle formation and thermosensitive solution behavior were studied using various methods, including hydrophobic dye solubilization, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, turbidity measurement, microcalorimetry, and

resultsThe mPEG-DC formed micelles with a critical micelle concentration of 0.05 wt.% and an average size of 15 nm. Aqueous mPEG-DC solutions exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) that is independent of concentration and reversible over heating and cooling cycles. The LCST transition is an entropically driven process involving dehydration of the PEG shell. The thermosensitive mPEG-DC micelles with rigid DC cores were applied as an estradiol delivery system in which estradiol was released, without initial burst, over the 16 days in a diffusion-controlled manner.

conclusionsThis study suggests that mPEG-DCs form thermosensitive micelles with rigid cores that can function as an excellent diffusion-controlled hydrophobic drug delivery system without initial burst release. Thermosensitive core-rigid micelles of monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-deoxy cholic acid.
