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

We assessed the disintegration profiles of the film dosage forms (FDs) prepared using pectin by measuring the amount of pectin dissolved from the films in a limited amount of aqueous medium. Furthermore, we used miconazole and dexamethasone as standard drugs and investigated the relationship between the disintegration rate of the FDs and the rate of drug release. We used two types of pectin in this study to develop thin films with a thickness of approximately 25⁻35 μm. The FDs gradually disintegrated in the aqueous medium, and the disintegration profile of the FDs differed depending on the types of pectin. In addition, the rate of disintegration of the film matrix affected the dissolution rate of the drug incorporated into the FD. Thus, our results show that FDs prepared using pectin are beneficial because of their high solubility in a limited amount of medium, and the rate of drug release from the FDs can be regulated by selecting a specific type of pectin or by altering the concentration of the film base.
