Cyclodextrins as a Strategy for Enhancing Solubility of Therapeutic Agents for Neglected Tropical Diseases: A Systematic Review.

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.
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
backgroundNeglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) are chronic infectious conditions that primarily affect marginalized populations. The chemotherapeutic arsenal available for treating NTD is limited and outdated, which poses a challenge in controlling and eradicating these diseases. This is exacerbated by the pharmaceutical industry's lack of interest in funding the development of new therapeutic alternatives. In addition, a considerable number of drugs used in NTD therapy have low aqueous solubility. To address this issue, solubility enhancement strategies, such as the use of inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins (CD) can be employed.
objectiveTherefore, this systematic review aims to present the application of CD in complexing with drugs and chemotherapeutic compounds used in the therapy of some of the most prevalent NTD worldwide and how these complexes can enhance the treatment of these diseases.
methodsTwo bibliographic databases, Science Direct and PubMed, were used to conduct the search. The selection of studies and the writing of this systematic review followed the criteria outlined by the PRISMA guidelines.
resultsFrom a total of 978 articles, 23 were selected after applying the exclusion criteria. All the studies selected were consistent with the use of CD as a strategy to increase the solubility of therapeutic agents used in NTD.
conclusionThe results indicate that CD can enhance the solubility of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD). This review presents data that clearly highlights the potential use of CD in the development of new treatments for neglected tropical diseases. It can assist in the formulation of future treatments that are more effective and safer.
