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

Ketotifen fumarate is a non-bronchodilator anti-asthmatic drug which inhibits the effects of certain endogenous substances known to be inflammatory mediators, and thereby exerts antiallergic activity. The present study describes the formulation of a sustained release nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery system containing ketoftifen, using poly (D,L lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA). Biodegradable NPs were prepared using 50 : 50 PLGA by a water in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) double emulsion-solvent evaporation procedure and characterized for drug content, DSC (differential scanning calorimetry, XRD (X-ray diffractionl), FTIR (Fourier transform spectroscopy), particle size , surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy, and drug release rate. The effects of different drug-to-polymer ratios on the characteristics of the NPs were investigated. NPs prepared were spherical with a smooth surface. Size of NPs was dependent on the concentration of polymer (10 mg/mL, 754.6 nm). Increasing the external organic phase volume (primary emulsion) resulted in larger particles with higher encapsulation efficiency (55%). The best drug to polymer ratio in the NP was F
