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

Permeability across cellular membranes is a key factor that influences absorption and distribution. Before absorption, many drugs must pass through the mucus barrier that covers all the wet surfaces of the human body. Cell-free in vitro tools currently used to evaluate permeability fail to effectively model the complexity of mucosal barriers. Here, we present an in vitro mucosal platform as a possible strategy for assessing permeability in a high-throughput setup. The PermeaPad 96-well plate was used as a permeability system and further coupled to a pathological, tridimensional mucus model. The physicochemical determinants predicting passive diffusion were determined by combining experimental and computational approaches. Drug solubility, size, and shape were found to be the critical properties governing permeability, while the charge of the drug was found to be influential on the interaction with mucus. Overall, the proposed mucosal platform could be a promising in vitro tool to model the complexity of mucosal tissues and could therefore be adopted for drug-permeability profiling.
