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

Curcumin is a bioactive compound with well-established chemopreventive and anticancer properties, but its pharmaceutical application is limited by extremely low aqueous solubility and poor formulation-dependent bioavailability. In this study, three choline chloride-based acidic deep eutectic solvents (ADESs), namely choline chloride/propionic acid (ChCl/Pro), choline chloride/acetic acid (ChCl/Ace), and choline chloride/lactic acid (ChCl/Lac), were systematically evaluated as solubilizing media for curcumin. The mole fraction solubility of curcumin was determined in aqueous ADES mixtures over 298.15-313.15 K at different ADES mass fractions. In all systems, solubility increased with both temperature and ADES content, and the overall solubilization efficiency followed the order ChCl/Pro > ChCl/Ace > ChCl/Lac. The highest solubility was obtained in neat ChCl/Pro at 313.15 K, where the mole fraction solubility reached 2.237 × 10
