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

Bile acid salt (BAS) micellar structures containing phospholipids (PPLs) have many important applications in the field of drug delivery on account of their biocompatibility, but improving their structural stability is a crucial issue for further development. Combined with our previous findings, we hypothesized that coloading of drugs with different hydrophobicities can enhance the structural stability of the micelles. Puerarin (PUE) and tanshinone IIA (TSA) from the Chinese couplet medicines, Radix Puerariae-Salvia miltiorrhiza, were chosen as the model hydrophobic compound pair to be encapsulated into mixed micelles composed of BAS and PPL (BPMM), to form four mixed micellar systems, including blank BPMM, single-drug-carrying BPMM (namely, PUE-loaded BPMM (P-BPMM) and TSA-loaded BPMM (T-BPMM)), and coloaded BPMM (PT-BPMM). The hypothesis was confirmed by comparing the stability of blank BPMM with those of drug-loaded BPMM, single-drug-carrying and drug-cocarrying BPMM, by utilizing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with various experimental observations. Moreover, it is found that the drug distribution preference in the system is not significant when a single drug is loaded. However, when coloaded, the distribution preference of different hydrophobic drugs in the same space is reflected, that is, a more appropriate spatial distribution of drugs in the micellar system can effectively improve the drug-loading stability of the system. The strategy to improve the stability of mixed micelles in this investigation avoids the complex processes associated with modifying the structure of micellar carrier materials and offers the advantages of the use of biosurfactants for drug delivery.
