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

Oral administration of pH sensitive/stimuli responsive nanoparticles are gaining importance because of the limited side effects, minimum dose and controlled drug release. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate pH sensitive polymeric nanoparticles for methotrexate with the aim to maximize the drug release at target site. In the presented study, pH sensitive polymeric nanoparticles of methotrexate were developed through modified solvent evaporation technique using polymer Eudragit S100. Different process parameters like drug to polymer ratio, speed of sonication, concentration of surfactant and time of sonication were optimized by evaluating their effects on particle size, PDI, zeta potential, entrapment/encapsulation efficiency. The developed formulations were evaluated for their size, polydispersity (PDI), zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, XRD, scanning electron microscopy,
