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

Quetiapine (QP) is a second-generation short-acting antipsychotic drug extensively metabolized in the liver, producing pharmacologically inactive metabolites and leading to diminished bioavailability. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an intravenous QP albumin nanoparticles (NPs) system for improving QP antipsychotic activity and brain targeting. QP-loaded albumin NPs were prepared by the desolvation method. The fabricated NPs were characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE%), and in vitro drug release. In vivo pharmacokinetics and biodistribution in rats were studied. In addition, the antipsychotic activity of the optimized platform was also investigated. Human serum albumin (HSA) concentration, pH, and stirring time were modulated to optimize QP albumin NPs with a particle size of 103.54 ± 2.36 nm and a QP EE% of 96.32 ± 3.98%. In addition, the intravenous administration of QP albumin NPs facilitated QP brain targeting with a 4.9-fold increase in targeting efficiency compared to the oral QP solution. The QP albumin NPs improved the QP antipsychotic activity, indicated by suppressing rats' hypermobility and reducing the QP's extrapyramidal side effects. The obtained results proposed that intravenous QP- NPs could improve QP brain targeting and its antipsychotic efficiency.
