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

A nanoliposome-integrated polymeric hydrogel was developed for the controlled release of essential oils (Argania spinosa, Passiflora edulis). A deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of betaine and phytic acid enhanced the solubility and stability of essential oils, facilitating uniform encapsulation within nanoliposomes. The hydrogel exhibited a swelling capacity of 100% and retained 51.7% of water after 7 h, ensuring prolonged hydration. Structural analysis confirmed a homogeneous dispersion of nanoliposomes, contributing to the gradual release of bioactive components. Additionally, the hydrogel demonstrated high mechanical strength (7.5 MPa), ensuring flexibility and durability. The polymeric network, formed by acrylamide, sodium alginate, and bentonite, provided a stable and elastic matrix, optimizing water retention and mechanical performance. The controlled diffusion mechanism of the nanoliposomes was validated through in vitro release studies, indicating Fickian-controlled release behavior. These findings highlight the potential of this polymeric hydrogel system as a functional material for skincare formulations, offering enhanced hydration and sustained bioactive delivery.
