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

Cyclodextrins (CDs) have largely been investigated during the last decades for their outstanding properties, such as biocompatibility and biodegradability, with wide applications in the pharmaceutical field, among which the formation of inclusion complexes (ICs) with natural or synthetic lipophilic compounds. This review prioritizes the research of recent years (2022-2025), being focused on (1) systematization of the research of ICs based on the structure of the secondary metabolite, namely (i) polyphenols (PPs), (ii) terpenes and terpenoids (TTs), and (iii) alkaloids (Alks); (2) for each type of inclusion complex, the following aspects have been discussed: benefits of complexation, composite materials, and in vitro/in vivo and theoretical studies; and (3) pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, risks, limitations, and perspectives of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with secondary metabolites.
