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

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) has emerged as a cornerstone in the development of advanced drug delivery systems, particularly for intranasal and pulmonary routes. Its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and adaptability make it an ideal platform for addressing challenges associated with conventional therapies. By enabling sustained and controlled drug release, PLGA formulations reduce dosing frequency, improve patient compliance, and enhance therapeutic efficacy. These systems demonstrate versatility, accommodating hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, biological molecules, and co-delivery of synergistic agents. Moreover, surface modifications and advanced preparation techniques enhance targeting, bioavailability, and stability, expanding PLGA's applications to treat complex diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, and CNS disorders. This manuscript provides an in-depth review of PLGA's materials, properties, preparation methods, and therapeutic applications, alongside a critical evaluation of challenges and future opportunities in this field.
