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

Polyethylene glycol-23 glyceryl distearate (GDS-23)-a noisome-forming diacylglycerol-polyethylene glycol-based nonionic surfactant-functions as a nanocarrier for drug delivery systems (DDS) and an enhancer of endogenous antioxidant capacity through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation. Here, we evaluated the potential of GDS-23 as a multifunctional DDS carrier by investigating the combined contribution of (i) improved transdermal delivery mediated by niosomal DDS and (ii) increased cellular uptake associated with induction of antioxidant-related transporters, using protection against oxidative-stress-induced tissue damage as a functional readout. We determined whether GDS-23 modulates the expression of the antioxidant-related transporters xCT and SVCTs through Nrf2 activation. In normal human epidermal keratinocytes, GDS-23 treatment significantly upregulated the mRNA expression of
