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

Background: Fenticonazole nitrate (FTN)-loaded chitosan-coated PEGylated terpesomes (TPs) were investigated as a mucoadhesive formulation to enhance drug delivery to the urinary bladder. Methods: The design of fenticonazole nitrate-loaded terpesome (FTN-TP) formulations was carried out using a 3 Results: The optimized CCPTs exhibited increased entrapment efficiency and zeta potential values without a significant increase in particle size or polydispersity index. They also demonstrated good mucoadhesive properties and remained stable for up to 90 days. Confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed the penetration of the fluorescently optimized CCPTs through the urinary bladder wall. Conclusion: The optimum formulation could serve as an effective alternative carrier for urinary bladder delivery of fenticonazole nitrate, prolonging its residence time and thereby enhancing its therapeutic pharmacological effect.
