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

Insufficient drug loading and leakage of payload remain major challenges in designing liposome-based drug delivery systems. These phenomena can limit duration of effect and cause toxicity. Targeting the rate-limiting step in drug release from liposomes, we modify (aromatized) them to have aromatic groups within their lipid bilayers. Aromatized liposomes are designed with synthetic phospholipids with aromatic groups covalently conjugated onto acyl chains. The optimized aromatized liposome increases drug loading and significantly decreases the burst release of a broad range of payloads (small molecules and macromolecules, different degrees of hydrophilicity) and extends their duration of release. Aromatized liposomes encapsulating the anesthetic tetrodotoxin (TTX) achieve markedly prolonged effect and decreased toxicity in an application where liposomes are used clinically: local anesthesia, even though TTX is a hydrophilic small molecule which is typically difficult to encapsulate. Aromatization of lipid bilayers can improve the performance of liposomal drug delivery systems.
