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

objectiveTo develop and evaluate zolmitriptan spanlastics (Zol SLs) as a brain-targeted antimigraine delivery system. Spanlastics (SLs) prepared using span 60: tween 80 (70:30%, respectively) gave the highest percentage of entrapment efficiency (EE%). MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 60 adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups (n=10 rats/group). Group 1 (Control) comprised rats serving as a negative control. Group 2 was treated with glyceryl trinitrate (NTG) and served as the positive control. Groups 3 (NTG+Zol com), Group 4 (NTG+Zol sol) and Group 5 (NTG+Zol SLs) received commercial zolmitriptan orally, zolmitriptan solution intranasally and Zol SLs F5 intranasally, respectively, 30 min before NTG. Group 6 (Zol SLs) comprised normal rats that received only Zol SLs intranasally.

resultsWe found decreased T

conclusionOur study substantiates the enhanced efficacy of Zol SLs in brain targeting for migraine treatment.
