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

The present study was conducted to formulate ethosomal thermoreversible in situ gel of apixaban, an anticoagulant drug, for nasal delivery. Ethosomes were formed, of lecithin, cholesterol, and ethanol, by using thin-film hydration method. The prepared ethosomes were characterized by Zetasizer, transmission electron microscope, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro study. The selected ethosomal formula (API-ETHO2) was incorporated in gel using P407 and P188 as thermoreversible agents and carbopol 934 as mucoadhesive agent. Box-Behnken design was used to study the effect of independent variables (concentration of P407, P188, and carbopol 934) on gelation temperature, mucoadhesive strength, and in vitro cumulative percent drug released at 12h (response variables). The optimized formulation was subjected to compatibility study, ex vivo permeation, histopathological examination for the nasal mucosa, and in vivo study. API-ETHO2 was spherical with an average size of 145.1±12.3 nm, zeta potential of -20±4 mV, entrapment efficiency of 67.11%±3.26, and in vitro % release of 79.54%±4.1. All gel formulations exhibited an acceptable pH and drug content. The optimum gel offered 32.3°C, 1226.3 dyne/cm
