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

We have conducted a stability study of a complex liposomal pharmaceutical product, Atheroglitatide (AGT), stored at three temperatures, 4, 24, and 37 °C, for up to six months. The six parameters measured were functions of liposomal integrity (size and number), drug payload (loading efficiency), targeting peptide integrity (conjugation efficiency and specific avidity), and echogenicity (ultrasound-dependent controlled drug release), which were considered most relevant to the product's intended use. At 4 °C, liposome diameter trended upward, indicative of aggregation, while liposome number per mg lipid and echogenicity trended downward. At 24 °C, peptide conjugation efficiency (CE) and targeting efficiency (TE, specific avidity) trended downward. At 37 °C, CE and drug (pioglitazone) loading efficiency trended downward. At 4 °C, the intended storage temperature, echogenicity, and liposome size reached their practical tolerance limits at 6 months, fixing the product expiration at that point. Arrhenius analysis of targeting peptide CE and drug loading efficiency decay at the higher temperatures indicated complete stability of these characteristics at 4 °C. The results of this study underscore the storage stability challenges presented by complex nanopharmaceutical formulations.
