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

Retinoids are considered the mainstay treatment for moderate to severe acne. Adapalene, a third-generation retinoid, has physiochemical properties which hinder the effective delivery of the drug to the skin. Therefore, the current study aimed to develop and evaluate adapalene liposomal loaded gel (ADA-LP gel) for the effective management of acne to improve tolerability and delivery to targeted sites as compared to the conventional dosage form of the drug. A novel spontaneous phase transition method (SPT) was used to formulate liposomes. Liposomal formulation (ADA-LP) was prepared and optimized based on particle size, zeta potential, and PDI. Optimized formulation was further characterized by different techniques and loaded into Carbopol gel. In vitro drug release, ex vivo permeation, and in vivo studies were performed using the prepared adapalene-loaded liposomal-based gel. The in vivo study was done employing the testosterone-induced acne model in mice. The optimized formulation had a size of 181 nm, PDI 0.145, and a zeta potential of -35 mV, indicating that the formulation was stable. Encapsulation efficiency was 89.69 ± 0.5%. ADA-LPs were loaded into the gel. Prepared ADA-LP showed a 79 ± 0.02% release of drug in a sustained manner, within 24 h. The ex vivo permeability study showed a total of 43 ± 0.06 µg/cm
