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

The potential of cocoa pod husk (CPH) pectin-based modified release (MR) capsules as a carrier for chronodelivery of hydrocortisone in Sprague-Dawley rats was assessed. Extemporaneously formulated CPH pectin-based hydrocortisone (10 mg) capsules crosslinked with calcium chloride (Formulation A) or zinc (Formulation B) and a commercial immediate release hydrocortisone formulation were administered orally to Sprague-Dawley rats and the pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using noncompartmental analysis. Formulation A had a 2 h lag phase followed by an increase in serum drug concentration in the treated rats. Peak concentrations (C
