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

Liposomes with adjuvant properties are utilized to carry biomolecules, such as proteins, that are often sensitive to the stressful conditions of liposomal preparation processes. The aim of the present study is to use the aqueous heat method for the preparation of polymer-grafted hybrid liposomes without any additional technique for size reduction. Towards this scope, liposomes were prepared through the combination of two different lipids with adjuvant properties, namely dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA) and D-(+)-trehalose 6,6'-dibehenate (TDB) and the amphiphilic block copolymer poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA-b-PDMAEMA). For comparison purposes, PAMAM dendrimer generation 4 (PAMAM G4) was also used. Preformulation studies were carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The physicochemical characteristics of the prepared hybrid liposomes were evaluated by light scattering and their morphology was evaluated by cryo-TEM. Subsequently, in vitro nanotoxicity studies were performed. Protein-loading studies with bovine serum albumin were carried out to evaluate their encapsulation efficiency. According to the results, PDMAEMA-b-PLMA was successfully incorporated in the lipid bilayer, providing improved physicochemical and morphological characteristics and the ability to carry higher cargos of protein, compared to pure DDA:TDB liposomes, without affecting the biocompatibility profile. In conclusion, the aqueous heat method can be applied in polymer-grafted hybrid liposomes for protein delivery without further size-reduction processes.
