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

Introduction: Curcumin, a polyphenolic bioactive molecule, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties by reducing cytokine levels such as IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β. It regulates IL-17A and modulates key signaling pathways, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR, NF-κB and JAK/STAT. However, its clinical application is hindered by rapid metabolism, poor solubility, and chemical instability. Method: Using the Box-Behnken design, this study developed and optimized a curcumin-loaded turmeric oil-based nanoemulsion system. The effects of turmeric oil, Tween 80 and sonication cycles on particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), and encapsulation efficiency were analyzed. The optimized nanoemulsion was characterized by zeta potential, PDI, PS, morphology, loading efficiency, EE, and antioxidant activity (DPPH assay). Results: The optimized nanoemulsion had high entrapment efficiency (92.45±2.4 %), a PS of 130.6 nm, a PDI of 0.151, and a zeta potential of -1.7±0.6 mV. Nanoparticle tracking analysis confirmed a mean PS of 138.3±1.6 nm with a concentration of 3.78×10 Conclusion: Overall, the optimized formulation significantly lowered levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the acute lung injury /acute respiratory distress syndrome mouse model.
