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

Despite a long history of use for rectal and vaginal drug delivery, the current worldwide market for suppositories is limited primarily due to a lack of user acceptability. Therefore, virtually no rational pharmaceutical development of antiviral suppositories has been performed. However, suppositories offer several advantages over other antiviral dosage forms. Current suppository designs have integrated active pharmaceutical ingredients into existing formulation designs without optimization. As such, emerging suppository development has been focused on improving upon the existing classical design to enhance drug delivery and is poised to open suppository drug delivery to a broader range of drugs, including antiretroviral products. Thus, with continuing research into rational suppository design and development, there is significant potential for antiretroviral suppository drug delivery.
