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

Multidrug nanomedicine is an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic diseases and cancers. However, co-encapsulation and release of drug combination at a fixed ratio by nanoparticles, particularly for long acting ocular formulations, remains challenging. Herein, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles ratiometrically co-encapsulating hydrophilic dual drugs, mitomycin C and doxorubicin, was obtained (D/M PLGANPs) by combining microfluidics and the Design of Experiments approaches. The formulation variable of lactide-to-glycolide ratios (L/G 50:50, 75:15 and 85:15) was used to achieve fast, medium and slow drug release rates of D/M PLGANPs. The dissolution of D/M PLGANPs in simulated intraocular fluid exhibited sustained release of dual drugs at the fixed ratio over 7 days, and analysis using the
