Natural Gastrointestinal Stable Pea Albumin Nanomicelles for Capsaicin Delivery and Their Effects for Enhanced Mucus Permeability at Small Intestine.
Article in Biomaterials research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Natural nanodelivery systems are highly desirable owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, these delivery systems face challenges from potential degradation in the harsh gastrointestinal environment and limitations imposed by the intestinal mucus barrier, reducing their oral delivery efficacy. Here, gastrointestinal stable and mucus-permeable pea albumin nanomicelles (PANs) with a small particle size (36.42 nm) are successfully fabricated via pre-enzymatic hydrolysis of pea albumin isolate (PAI) using trypsin. Capsaicin (CAP) is used as a hydrophobic drug model and loaded in PAN with a loading capacity of 20.02 μg/mg. PAN exhibits superior intestinal stability, with a 40% higher CAP retention compared to PAI in simulated intestinal digestion. Moreover, PAN displays unrestricted movement in intestinal mucus and can effectively penetrate it, since it increases the mucus permeability of CAP by 2.5 times, indicating an excellent ability to overcome the mucus barrier. Additionally, PAN enhances the cellular uptake and transcellular transport of CAP with endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi and Golgi/plasma membrane pathways involved in the transcytosis and exocytosis. This study suggests that partially enzymatically formed PAN may be a promising oral drug delivery system, effectively overcoming the harsh gastrointestinal environment and mucus barrier to improve intestinal absorption and bioavailability of hydrophobic bioactive substances.
