Fiber-Reinforced-Phospholipid Vehicle-Based Delivery of l-Ascorbic Acid: Development, Characterization, ADMET Profiling, and Efficacy by a Randomized, Single-Dose, Crossover Oral Bioavailability Study.
Article in ACS omega, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
l-ascorbic acid (AA) or vitamin C is a crucial nutrient needed for optimal health. However, being unable to be synthesized by the body, it is thus necessary to be included in health care products. Moreover, AA is one of the antioxidants that occur naturally, which is used in pharmaceutical and food products as an antioxidant additive. However, AA is vulnerable to environmental settings and undergoes oxidative degradation to dehydroascorbic acid and further to inactive products. Therefore, new research strategies and approaches are required to augment its stability. The objective of this study is to develop and characterize a fiber-reinforced-phospholipid (FRP) matrix-based vehicle, Zeal-AA, for the delivery of AA and optimize the oral bioavailability of the obtained AA powder using an efficacy study by open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period, two-way crossover. The structural and surface morphologies were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry studies. Encapsulation efficiency, mean particle size, size distribution, ζ-potential measurements, and ADMET profiling revealed the potential delivery system for AA. AUC
