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

Tacrolimus (FK506) is widely used in ocular diseases such as corneal transplantation-host disease, uveitis, conjunctivitis, and dry eye disease (DED). However, its low aqueous solubility and poor ocular retention pose challenges for its application in the eye diseases. This study developed a novel FK506-loaded maleimide-functionalized cationic niosomes (FK506 M-CNS), aiming to prolong the retention time of FK506 in the eye and enhance its therapeutic efficacy. FK506 M-CNS had a particle size of 87.69 ± 1.05 nm and zeta potential of 22.06 ± 1.01 mV. Results of histological evaluation through H&E staining and in vitro cytotoxicity of human corneal epithelial cells consistently revealed the excellent biocompatibility of FK506 M-CNS. FK506 M-CNS exhibited superior ocular retention compared to the market product Talymus
