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

backgroundThe neuroprotective efficacy of glibenclamide (GLIB) has been demonstrated in multiple rodent models of ischemia, hemorrhagic stroke, traumatic brain damage, spinal cord injury, and metastatic brain tumors. Due to its poor solubility, GLIB has low oral bioavailability, limiting its transportation to the brain via the oral route.

objectivesHere, we attempted to develop and optimize an intranasal mucoadhesive in situ gel of GLIB-loaded bilosomes using a 3

methodsTo facilitate a longer residence time of the administered dose within the nasal cavity, the prepared bilosomes were loaded into a mucoadhesive in situ gel providing resistance to rapid mucociliary clearance. The amounts of sodium deoxycholate, the cholesterol/Span 40 mixture, and the molar ratio between the mixture's components were chosen as independent variables, while the entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release were selected as dependent variables. RESULTS AND

conclusionsThe optimal formulation was analyzed for particle size and entrapment efficiency, which were found to be 270.6 nm and 68.39%, respectively. In vitro drug release from optimal formulation after 12 h was 87.29 ± 1.98% as compared to 52.01 ± 2.04% of plain in situ gel of drug. An in vivo brain drug delivery study performed on Swiss albino mice showed that the brain concentration of drug through intranasal administration from mucoadhesive in situ gel of GLIB-bilosomes after 12 h was 2.12 ± 0.16 µg/mL as compared to 0.68 ± 0.04 µg/mL from plain in situ gel of drug. Conclusively, the developed bilosomal formulation offers a favorable intranasal substitute with enhanced therapeutic drug delivery to the brain.
