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/

objectivesThe aims of the presented study were the development of four types of silibinin-loaded liposomes (multilamellar liposomes-MLVs, sonicated small unilamellar liposomes-SUVs, UV-irradiated liposomes, and lyophilized liposomes) and their physicochemical characterization and biological potential related to skin health benefits.

methodsThe characterization was performed via the determination of the encapsulation efficiency (EE), particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, conductivity, mobility, storage stability, density, surface tension, viscosity, FT-IR, and Raman spectra. In addition, cytotoxicity on the keratinocytes and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential were also determined.

resultsUV irradiation significantly changed the rheological and chemical properties of the liposomes and increased their cytotoxic effect. The lyophilization of the liposomes caused significant changes in their EE and physical characteristics, decreased their ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging potential, and increased their potential to reduce the expression of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) in cells treated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Sonication significantly changed the EE and physical and rheological properties of the liposomes, and slightly increased their cytotoxicity and reduction effect on IL-1β, while the anti-ABTS and anti-DPPH capacity of the liposomes significantly increased. All developed liposomes showed an increasing trend in particle size and a decreasing trend in zeta potential (absolute values) during storage.

conclusionsSilibinin-loaded liposomes (MLVs and lyophilized) showed promising antioxidant activity (toward reactive oxygen species generated in cells) and anti-inflammatory effects (reducing macrophage inhibitory factor expression) on keratinocytes and did not lead to a change in their viability. Future perspectives will focus on wound healing, anti-aging, and other potential of developed liposomes with silibinin in sophisticated cell-based models of skin diseases, wounds, and aging.
