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

Liposomal azithromycin (L-AZM) promotes macrophage polarization toward an M2-like phenotype in the context of myocardial infarction that results in improved cardiovascular outcomes in mice. To improve upon this formulation, we sought to identify optimized formulation, stability, and biological activity parameters necessary to enhance the immunomodulatory activity and efficacy of L-AZM. While our parent formulation contains a mixture of long-chain saturated phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol lipids, we evaluated a series of formulations with different amounts of unsaturated lipids and cholesterol with the goal of improving the loading capacity and stability of the formulations. We also introduce fusogenic lipids to improve the cytosolic delivery to enhance the immune modulatory properties of the drug. To achieve these goals, we initially prepared a library of 24 formulations using thin film hydration and assessed the resultant liposomes for size and polydispersity. Five lead formulations were identified based on low polydispersity (<0.3) and stability over time. The lead formulations were then evaluated for stability in serum using dialysis and macrophage polarization activity
