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

Oxidative stress on the mitochondria in a human cell is attributed to several life-risking conditions, and as such, the importance of molecular structures packed with antioxidant properties and structural characteristics to enter the cell to help prevent such stress has been substantially relevant in recent years. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant properties of triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-conjugated phenolic acids encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). We synthesized TPP conjugates of caffeic, coumaric, and cinnamic acids and formed inclusion complexes with β-CD. Our results showed successful encapsulation of TPP conjugates in β-CD with high efficiency. The TPP conjugates maintained antioxidant activity, with slight reductions observed in β-CD complexes. Furthermore, cell viability studies showed low cytotoxicity of the dds. Computational analyses revealed that TPP conjugation preserved the chemical reactivity of the phenolic acids. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated stable inclusion complexes with β-CD and the free energy calculations indicated that TPP conjugation significantly enhanced the ability of caffeic acid to translocate across mitochondrial membranes. These results highlight the potential of TPP-conjugated phenolic acids encapsulated in β-CD as effective antioxidants with improved mitochondrial targeting capabilities.
