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

The ubiquitous emergence of bacterial resistance is a challenging problem in infectious diseases treatment. Recently, new research lines employed nano-drug delivery systems to enhance antibacterial activity of the existing antibiotics. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to optimize surfactant nanovesicles to improve the antimicrobial effect of meropenem, ertapenem and tigecycline against Carbapenemase Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and extended spectrum beta-lactamases producing bacteria (ESBL). Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli were used as the test organisms. In vivo and in vitro evaluations were conducted to prove the efficacy of niosome-encapsulated drugs formulations. The results revealed that surfactant vesicles were able to reduce the MIC values of the tested drugs by nine-fold change compared to their free forms. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed possible adhesion/fusion of the vesicles encapsulated drugs on the bacterial cells compared to its solution. In vivo investigations using animal skin model confirmed the superiority of nanovesicles drug encapsulation regarding both wound size and histopathological examination. Wound surface area was reduced from 24.6mm
