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

Background and purpose: Cerebral ischemia causes neuronal damage due to restricted blood flow and presents significant challenges for brain-targeted drug delivery because of the blood-brain barrier. The purpose of this study is to formulate and evaluate an intranasal oil-in-water nanoemulsion of carvacrol, a neuroprotective agent, for direct nose-to-brain delivery in treating cerebral ischemia. Experimental approach: Nanoemulsions were developed using high-pressure homogenization and optimized by adjusting surfactant mixture ratios and homogenization cycles. Characterization included droplet size (<200 nm), polydispersity index, zeta potential, drug content, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and drug release profiles. Intranasal suitability was assessed through Key results: The optimized nanoemulsion showed sustained release, enhanced nasal permeation, and significantly improved brain bioavailability ( Conclusion: Intranasal carvacrol-loaded nanoemulsion is a promising non-invasive strategy for cerebral ischemia treatment, enabling effective brain targeting and significant therapeutic benefit.
