Novel stable "sandwich" cyclodextrin inclusion of a lipophilic S-nitrosothiol for controlled delivery of nitric oxide.
Article in Materials & design, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nitric oxide (NO) is a versatile biological signaling molecule with applications in antimicrobial, anticancer, and cardiovascular therapies. A newly developed NO donor, S-nitroso-1-adamantane thiol (SNAT), has previously demonstrated excellent antithrombogenic and antimicrobial properties when impregnated into PVC tubing of extracorporeal circuits. However, the hydrophobicity of SNAT and its storage stability remain a major challenge for further biomedical applications. Here, we report a novel NO delivery system based on the inclusion of the highly lipophilic SNAT within hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD), forming a stable "sandwich" cyclodextrin inclusion complex (CD-SNAT). Spectroscopic, structural, and morphological characterization confirmed successful SNAT inclusion in the CD cavity. The CD-SNAT complex showed excellent aqueous solubility, and remarkable aqueous stability at physiological pH, even resistant to trace amounts of transition metal ions, which are detrimental to common S-nitrosothiols, like S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine. NO release could be efficiently triggered by endogenous free thiols like cysteine, or UV light. Sustained and cysteine-induced NO release from CD-SNAT was confirmed by chemiluminescence. Intracellular NO delivery from SNAT was visualized in melanoma cells in the presence of cysteine. Remarkably, the solid complex remained >90% intact after six-month storage at room temperature. Hence, CD-SNAT provides a stable, tunable, biocompatible platform for controlled NO delivery, with promising biomedical applications.
