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

There are numerous barriers to achieving effective intraocular drug administration, including the mucus layer protecting the ocular surface. For this reason, antibiotic eye drops must be used multiple times per day to prevent and treat ocular infections. Frequent eye drop use is inconvenient for patients, and lack of adherence to prescribed dosing regimens limits treatment efficacy and contributes to antibiotic resistance. Here, we describe an ion-pairing approach used to create an insoluble moxifloxacin-pamoate (MOX-PAM) complex for formulation into mucus-penetrating nanosuspension eye drops (MOX-PAM NS). The MOX-PAM NS provided a significant increase in ocular drug absorption, as measured by the area under the curve in cornea tissue and aqueous humor, compared to Vigamox in healthy rats. Prophylactic and treatment efficacy were evaluated in a rat model of ocular
