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: This study investigated the development and characterization of trans-resveratrol-loaded transfersomes, with and without cholesterol, for potential non-irritating dermal applications. Methods: Transfersomes were prepared using thin-film hydration combined with probe sonication, incorporating hydrogenated lecithin, cholesterol, and Tween Results: All formulations exhibited particle sizes below 150 nm and zeta potentials below -30 mV, indicating favorable characteristics for dermal delivery. Cholesterol incorporation significantly increased particle size and enhanced zeta potential (p<0.05). Formulations containing 3-3.5% w/v hydrogenated lecithin achieved superior entrapment efficiency (>90%) compared to those with lower lecithin content (p<0.05), regardless of cholesterol incorporation. Transfersomes containing cholesterol displayed morphology with well-defined edges compared to cholesterol-free formulations. In vitro release studies revealed distinct release profiles, with cholesterol-free formulations releasing 70-83% of trans-resveratrol over 24 hours, compared to only 0-30% for cholesterol-containing formulations. Strat-M Conclusion: These findings feature the potential of transfersomal systems, particularly cholesterol-free variants, as promising carriers for the effective and safe dermal delivery of trans-resveratrol.
