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.
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
Combined drug administration is a potential strategy to increase efficacy through therapeutic synergy. Small molecule drugs and protein drugs are the two most popular kinds of drugs in medicine. However, efficiently encapsulating these two drugs still have key challenges due to their distinct properties (molecular weight, hydrophilicity, chemical groups, etc.), weak ability to penetrate through various biobarriers (cell membrane, endosome escape, tissue barriers dependent on the method of administration, etc.) and the easy deactivation of protein drugs during the construction of carrier and delivery process. Here, we utilize the hexahistidine-metal assembly (HmA), which can encapsulate a wide spectrum of drugs with high loading efficiency, to coencapsulate Dexp (a small molecule drug) and BVZ (protein drug) by a one-pot coassembly strategy. Our data demonstrated that Dexp and BVZ were coloaded into Dexp&BVZ@HmA with high efficiency, while the bioactivity of BVZ was well-maintained. Most importantly, when evaluating the therapeutic outcomes of drugs@HmA in a corneal neovascularization (CNV) model in vitro and in vivo, the combination group presented overwhelming efficacy compared to the monotherapy group. This strategy offers a platform to codeliver protein and small drugs and has the potential for treating anterior segment diseases as well as other diseases that need combination therapy.
