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 association of machine learning (ML) tools with the synthesis of nanoparticles has the potential to streamline the development of more efficient and effective nanomedicines. The continuous-flow synthesis of nanoparticles via microfluidics represents an ideal playground for ML tools, where multiple engineering parameters - flow rates and mixing configurations, type and concentrations of the reagents - contribute in a non-trivial fashion to determine the resultant morphological and pharmacological attributes of nanomedicines. Here we present the application of ML models towards the microfluidic-based synthesis of liposomes loaded with a model hydrophobic therapeutic agent, curcumin. After generating over 200 different liposome configurations by systematically modulating flow rates, lipid concentrations, organic:water mixing volume ratios, support-vector machine models and feed-forward artificial neural networks were trained to predict, respectively, the liposome dispersity/stability and size. This work presents an initial step towards the application and cultivation of ML models to instruct the microfluidic formulation of nanoparticles.
