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

This study investigated the combination of different proportions of cationic chitosan and anionic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for the development of polyelectrolyte complexes to be used as a carrier in a sustained-release system. Analysis via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) confirmed ionic interactions occur between the chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose chains, which increases drug entrapment. The results of the dissolution study in acetate buffer (pH 4.2) showed significant increases in the kinetic profiles of clarithromycin for low proportions of chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose tablets, while the tablets containing only chitosan had high relaxation of chitosan chains and disintegrated rapidly. The Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model for the different interpolymer complexes demonstrated that the clarithromycin transport mechanism was controlled by Fickian diffusion. These results suggest that the matrix tablets with different proportions of chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose enhanced the ionic interaction and enabled the prolonged release of clarithromycin.
