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

Caffeine (CAF) is a non-selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist which predominates in fat cells. When CAF binds to adenosine receptors, it increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate; inhibiting adipogenesis and inducing fat lipolysis. Resveratrol (RSV) is an antioxidant polyphenol possessing different anti-obesity mechanisms. Topical application of both hydrophilic CAF and lipophilic RSV is limited. This study aimed to develop novel caffeinated-resveratrol bilosomes (CRB) and caffeine-bilosomes (CB) that could non-invasively target and deposit in fat cells. RSV bilosomes (RB) were prepared as a non-targeted system for comparison. CRB showed nanosize (364.1 nm ±6.5 nm) and high entrapment for both active compounds. Rats treated topically with CRB revealed a significant decrease (
