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

Purpose: Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are promising candidates for next-generation drug delivery system due to their scalability, low cytotoxicity and immunogenicity, and efficient cellular uptake. Here, tomato fruit-derived PDNVs were loaded with tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist with the aim to reduce drug cytotoxicity, control drug release and to improve drug efficiency in vitro. Methods: Tolvaptan was encapsulated by extrusion and electroporation. Entrapment efficiency (EE%) and drug loading capacity (DLC%) were optimized by changing the drug-to-PDNV ratio and time-dependent drug release rate was evaluated at two different pH. Tolvaptan-loaded PDNVs were characterized using physiochemical and morphological methods. Cellular uptake of fluorescently labelled tolvaptan-loaded PDNVs was evaluated. The cytotoxicity and effects of tolvaptan-loaded PDNVs on cyst formation and cell migration were studied in different renal cell cultures. Results: Electroporation resulted in higher EE% and DLC% than extrusion for the encapsulation of tolvaptan into PDNVs. MDCK cells efficiently uptake tolvaptan-loaded PDNVs. The release of the tolvaptan was time and pH dependent. Enhanced cell proliferation, suppressed cyst growth, and altered cyst morphology compared with controls was observed. Migration assay demonstrated that tolvaptan-encapsulated PDNVs had a favourable effect on enhancing wound healing and cell migration in renal cells. Conclusion: Tolvaptan-loaded PDNVs show promising features as a natural next-generation nanoscale delivery system in vitro for time and pH-dependent release of hydrophobic drugs, such as tolvaptan.
