Antifungal efficacy of cinnamaldehyde and nano-cinnamaldehyde particles against candidiasis: an in-vitro study.

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.
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
backgroundCandidiasis is humans' most common oral fungal infection and is a major opportunistic fungal infection with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised patients, highlighting its clinical importance worldwide. This study investigated the antifungal effect of nystatin, fluconazole, cinnamaldehyde, and nano-cinnamaldehyde on candidiasis.
methodsIn this in vitro study, nano-cinnamaldehyde formulations were prepared using span60, tween60, and cholesterol for fabrication of noisome vesicles by the ethanol injection technique. The optimum formulation (cinnosome 2) was prepared with 100 mg Span 60, 100 mg Tween 60, and 50 mg cholesterol with 5 ml of ethanol. The size and particle dispersion index (PDI) of nanoparticles were measured using Dynamic Light Scattering technique, the zeta potential was measured using Zetasizer Nano ZS, and the amount of nano-cinnamaldehyde release was measured using dialysis by USP2 dissolution device. Twenty Candida species isolates, including C. albicans, Pichia kudriavzevii, Nakaseomyces glabratus, and C. tropicalis, were obtained from clinical samples, cultured in malt extract agar medium, and fungal suspensions were prepared in RPMI medium. For antifungal evaluation, the broth microdilution test was performed, and the MIC was read after 24 h. Differences between groups were determined by Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests at a significance level of 0.05 via GraphPad Prism 6 and SPSS 22 software.
resultsAmong the five niosomal formulations, the optimal nanoparticle showed a mean size of 228.75 ± 2.38 nm, PDI of 0.24 ± 0.01, zeta potential of -10.87 ± 1.09 mV, and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 66.71 ± 3.93%. The size of the nanoparticles varied from 137 to 297 nm among the formulations, and the particle size increased significantly with the amount of cholesterol. Nystatin, fluconazole and nano-cinnamaldehyde showed the best antifungal property with the lowest geometric mean (GM), 0.177 µg/mL, 0. 308 µg/mL and 0.554 µg/mL, respectively, followed by cinnamaldehyde (2.732 µg/mL) and carrier (2.828 µg/mL).
