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

Precise dosing is critical for effective therapeutics, yet extensive enterohepatic metabolism poses a major barrier to many orally administered small-molecule drugs. Budesonide, a potent corticosteroid for treating enterohepatic inflammation, undergoes significant first-pass metabolism by cytochrome P450 3A abundantly expressed in the liver and intestine, resulting in variable efficacy and unpredictable toxicity. Rectal drug delivery offers an alternative route that can reduce first-pass metabolism. This work aimed to alter enterohepatic metabolism and clearance of budesonide using a rectal nanoparticles-hydrogel system for localized drug delivery. Budesonide was encapsulated into nanostructured lipid carrier (BD-LNP), which were then entrapped in a dynamic boronate ester crosslinked hydrogel (BD-LNP@Hydrogel). The hydrogel network exhibited thermal and mechanical stability, maintaining a drug depot post-injection, while BD-LNP was released in a controlled manner upon hydrogel degradation in simulated colonic fluid. BD-LNP@Hydrogel achieved a permeability coefficient > 1 × 10
