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 research aims to investigate the properties of nano- and micro-sized casein hydrogels crosslinked by sodium tripolyphosphate as drug delivery systems. Benzydamine hydrochloride was chosen as a model hydrophilic drug. The gels were synthesized by varying different parameters: casein concentration, casein/crosslinking ratio, and addition of ethanol as a co-solvent. The electrostatic attractive interactions between the casein and the sodium tripolyphosphate were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The particle sizes was determined by dynamic light scattering and varied in the range between several hundred nanometers and several microns. The yield of the gelation process was high for all investigated samples and varied between 55.3% and 78.3%. The encapsulation efficiency of the particles was strongly influenced by the casein concentration and casein/crosslinker ratio and its values were between 4.6% and 22.4%. The release study confirmed that casein particles are useful as benzydamine carriers and ensured prolonged release over 72 h.
