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

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) are two active pharmaceutical ingredients, derived from cannabis plant. In the present study, CBD and CBG were formulated with polyvinyl(pyrrolidone) (PVP) and Eudragit L-100, using electrohydrodynamic atomization (electrospinning). The produced fibers were smooth and uniform in shape, with average fiber diameters in the range of 700-900 nm for PVP fibers and 1-5 μm for Eudragit L-100 fibers. The encapsulation efficiency for both CB and CBG was high (over 90%) for all formulations tested. Both in vitro release and disintegration tests of the formulations in simulated gastric fluids (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluids (SIF) indicated the rapid disintegration and dissolution of the fibers and the subsequent rapid release of the drugs. The study concluded that the electrospinning process is a fast and efficient method to produce drug-loaded fibers suitable for the per os administration of cannabinoids.
