A Critical Overview of the Biological Effects of Excipients (Part I): Impact on Gastrointestinal Absorption.
Review in The AAPS journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Traditionally, excipients have been considered in drug development from the perspective of their influence on drug solubility, manufacturability, and ability to control in vitro and in vivo drug release. These effects have been largely evaluated through studies involving in vitro dissolution methods. However, there is a growing awareness that what had previously been considered biologically inert excipients can exert numerous in vivo effects. This includes the potential to change gastrointestinal (GI) transit time, enterocyte passive transcellular or paracellular permeability, active transport activity, or presystemic drug metabolism. In this critical overview of the biological effects of excipients (Part I), we provide a summary of select published studies that explore these various in vivo factors. We also include a table that points readers to published reviews that list a range of excipients known to have biological activity. A subsequent discussion on in vitro, in vivo, and in silico methods that can be used to explore these excipient effects is provided in a separate (Part 2) continuation of this critical overview.
