Colon targeted beads loaded with pterostilbene: Formulation, optimization, characterization and
Article in Saudi pharmaceutical journal : SPJ : the official publication of the Saudi Pharmaceutical Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPterostilbene has a proven chemopreventive effect for colon carcinogenesis but suffers low bioavailability limitations and therefore unable to reach the colonic tissue. OBJECTIVE AND METHODOLOGY: To overcome the issue of low bioavailability, pterostilbene was formulated into an oral colon targeted beads by ionic gelation method using pectin and zinc acetate. Optimization was carried out by 2
resultsThe optimized formulation comprised of 2% w/v of pectin concentration ( DISCUSSION AND
conclusionThus, larger distribution of pterostilbene was obtained in the colonic tissue compared to stomach and small intestinal tissues. Thus, delayed T
