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

Insufficient gastric mucosa drug concentration and short contact time were the main reason for the lack of eradication efficacy of Helicobacter pylori for peptic ulcer patients. Novel multi-core chitosan microspheres were prepared for stomach-specific delivery of hydrophilic antibiotics for the treatment of peptic ulcer. Chitosan microspheres with multiple Eudragit L100 cores were easily prepared by a new emulsification/coagulation encapsulating method. Swelling behaviors, surface amino groups and mucin absorption ability were investigated and the formulation that showed best mucoadhesive potential was adopted. The multi-core chitosan microspheres exhibited good mucoadhesiveness as well as controlled release manner for incorporated antibiotics in acidic environment. The release rate could be easily modulated with accumulative release ranging from 47.3 to 79.3% in 6 h. Accordingly, the multi-core chitosan microspheres could serve as a satisfactory vehicle for stomach-specific delivery of hydrophilic antibiotics.
