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

The fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin has been encapsulated into large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) at efficiencies approaching 100%. Drug accumulation proceeded in response to a transmembrane gradient of methylammonium sulfate and occurred concomitantly with the efflux of methylamine. A mechanism for the encapsulation process is described. LUV composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine-cholesterol (DPPC/chol), distearoylphosphatidylcholine-cholesterol (DSPC/chol), or sphingomyelin-cholesterol (SM/chol) increased the circulation lifetime of ciprofloxacin after intravenous (i.v.) administration by > 15-fold. The retention of ciprofloxacin in liposomes in the circulation decreased in the sequence SM/chol > DSPC/chol > DPPC/chol. Increased circulation lifetimes were associated with enhanced delivery of the drug to the livers, spleens, kidneys, and lungs of mice. Encapsulation of ciprofloxacin also conferred significant increases in the longevity of the drug in the plasma after intraperitoneal administration and in the lungs after intratracheal administration in comparison to free ciprofloxacin. The efficacy of a single i.v. administration of an SM/chol formulation of ciprofloxacin was measured in a Salmonella typhimurium infection model. At 20 mg of ciprofloxacin per kg of body weight, the encapsulated formulation resulted in 10(3)- to 10(4)-fold fewer viable bacteria in the livers and spleens of infected mice than was observed for animals treated with free ciprofloxacin. These results show the utility of liposomal encapsulation of ciprofloxacin in improving the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and antibacterial efficacy of the antibiotic. In addition, these formulations are well suited for i.v., intraperitoneal, and intratracheal or aerosol administration.
