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

Fixed-dose combination (FDC) products containing at least two different active pharmaceutical ingredients are designed to treat more effectively different pathologies as they have demonstrated to enhance patient compliance. However, the combination of multiple drugs within the same dosage form can bring many physicochemical and pharmacodynamic interactions. The manufacturing process of FDC products can be challenging, especially when it is required to achieve different drug release profiles within the same dosage form to overcome physicochemical drug interactions. Monolithic, multiple-layer, and multiparticulate systems are the most common type of FDCs. Currently, the main manufacturing techniques utilized in industrial pharmaceutical companies rely on the use of combined wet and dry granulation, hot-melt extrusion coupled with spray coating, and compression of bilayered tablets. Nowadays, personalized medicines are gaining importance in clinical settings and 3D printing is taking a highlighted role in the manufacturing of complex and personalized 3D solid dosage forms that could not be manufactured using conventional techniques. In this review, it will be discussed in detail current marketed FDC products and their application in several diseases with an especial focus on antimicrobial drugs. Current industrial conventional techniques will be compared with 3D printing manufacturing of FDCs. Graphical Abstract.
