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: Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection caused by Methods: Drug-loaded NLCs were prepared using high-shear homogenization followed by sonication. The formulations were characterized in terms of particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, morphology by FE-SEM, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro drug release profile. Cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTT assay on J774A.1 macrophage. Antibacterial activity and intracellular efficacy against Results: The optimized formulation showed a size of 398 ± 30 nm, PDI 0.35, and zeta potential -17.5 mV, with 97% encapsulation efficiency and stable morphology over nine months. The system exhibited sustained release up to 95% at 80 h, in contrast to rapid diffusion from free drugs. Intracellular studies showed that Gen-Dox-Thy@NLC achieved a 3.4-log reduction in bacterial load, demonstrating significantly higher efficacy (~1.6-log greater reduction) compared with free drugs (p < 0.05), while maintaining macrophage viability above 85%. Conclusion: The co-loaded NLC formulation provided controlled drug release, improved intracellular delivery, and enhanced antibacterial activity against
