Oligosaccharide Lactate Nanoparticles Enhance Tissue Targeting: A Case Study of the Controlled Delivery of Bedaquiline to Cardiac Tissue in TB Pericarditis.

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.
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
Bedaquiline is known to shorten the duration of therapy of tuberculosis but has limitations, e.g., poor solubility and adverse effects such as prolongation of the QT interval. In this study, bedaquiline was incorporated into an inherently targeted nanosystem for improved permeation of the drug, with ex vivo diffusion studies performed to investigate its penetration. The bedaquiline-loaded mannan-chitosan oligosaccharide lactate nanoparticles were prepared by a one-step ionic gelation probe sonication method. A PermeGear 7-in-line flow-through diffusion system was used for the ex vivo diffusion studies across porcine and human pericardia. Bedaquiline-loaded nanoparticles with a particle size and potential of 192.4 nm and 40.5 mV, respectively, were obtained. The drug-loaded mannan-chitosan nanoparticles had an encapsulation efficacy of 98.7% and drug loading of 0.6%. Diffusion data indicated a steady-state flux of 2.889 and 2.346 µg.cm
