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
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have garnered significant interest for their safety and efficacy, especially following the success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel stearic acid (SA)-gambogic acid (GA) conjugate, where GA, a xanthonoid, exhibits high affinity for the transferrin receptor (TfR) without competing with endogenous transferrin. The SA-GA conjugate was employed to formulate SLNs using a hot homogenization-ultrasonication-solvent evaporation technique for the peroral delivery of cyclosporine (CsA), paclitaxel (PTX), and urolithin-A (UA). Physicochemical properties, including particle size, zeta potential, drug loading, and entrapment efficiency, were assessed. Among the three tested compounds, UA exhibited the highest encapsulation efficiency at both 5% and 10% w/w loading, with particle sizes remaining under 250 nm. SA-GA SLNs demonstrated excellent stability in simulated gastric fluids, supporting their potential for oral administration. Cellular uptake studies using Coumarin-6 (C6) and drug-loaded SLNs indicated that UA achieved the highest uptake (~ 50%) in both FHS-74 (human small intestine) and HK2 (human kidney) cell lines. Further, in cisplatin-induced HK2 cell damage models, UA-loaded SA-GA SLNs significantly reduced inflammatory markers TLR4, NF-κB, and IL-1β. These results highlight UA-loaded SA-GA SLNs as a promising TfR-targeted oral delivery system for mitigating cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in cancer therapy.
