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

Curcumin exhibits compromised bioavailability upon oral administration due to its inherent limitations, including low aqueous solubility, poor membrane permeability, and chemical instability. Inspired by the efficient mechanism by which viruses penetrate mucus and cells, we constructed an electrically neutral and hydrophilic nanocarrier (C60-CPP5/Pser@CUR) using fullerene C60 as the matrix modified with cell-penetrating peptides and phosphoserine. CPP5 facilitates efficient cellular internalization of therapeutic agents, while the incorporation of phosphoserine serves as a charge reversal strategy. This design enables dynamic surface charge modulation to enhance curcumin's trans-barrier delivery efficiency. Systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrated that the synthesized carrier significantly improved the synergistic effects of mucus penetration and cellular uptake. The Caco-2 cellular uptake of curcumin-loaded carriers was 2.26 times higher than that of free drugs. In a single-pass intestinal perfusion study in rat models, this nanocarrier significantly enhanced the absorption of curcumin in the duodenal and colonic regions. In the in vivo experiments, compared with free curcumin, its C
