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

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a nanoemulsion containing spiramycin and curcumin (NE-CS) to enhance these compounds' bioavailability and efficacy against acute and chronic toxoplasmosis in mice. Nanoemulsion containing spiramycin and curcumin (NE-CS), spiramycin nanoemulsion (NE-Spi), and a nanoemulsion without the drug (NE) were prepared via spontaneous emulsification and characterized for particle size and zeta potential. Their in vitro activity was tested against tachyzoites of T. gondii, RH strain, at different concentrations (250, 125, 62.5, and 31.25 µg/ml) and time points (30, 60, 90, and 120 min). In vivo, BALB/c mice infected with RH and Tehran strains were treated with NE-CS (25 mg/kg/day curcumin + 50 mg/kg/day spiramycin), NE-Spi (50 mg/kg/day), S-Spi, and NE, with infected/untreated mice as controls. Survival time, tachyzoite counts in peritoneal fluid (acute phase), and number and size of tissue cysts (chronic phase) were assessed microscopically. NE-CS significantly decreased the intracellular multiplication of T. gondii tachyzoites (5 ± 2.78 × 10
