Effect of Copolymer Properties on the Phase Behavior of Ibuprofen-PLA/PLGA Mixtures.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Prediction of compatibility of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with the polymeric carrier plays an essential role in designing drug delivery systems and estimating their long-term physical stability. A key element in deducing API-polymer compatibility is knowledge of a complete phase diagram, i.e., the solubility of crystalline API in polymer and mutual miscibility of API and polymer. In this work, the phase behavior of ibuprofen (IBU) with different grades of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and polylactide (PLA), varying in composition of PLGA and molecular weight of PLGA and PLA, was investigated experimentally using calorimetry and computationally by the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state (EOS). The phase diagrams constructed based on a PC-SAFT EOS modeling optimized using the solubility data demonstrated low solubility at typical storage temperature (25 °C) and limited miscibility (i.e., presence of the amorphous-amorphous phase separation region) of IBU with all polymers studied. The ability of PC-SAFT EOS to capture the experimentally observed trends in the phase behavior of IBU-PLA/PLGA systems with respect to copolymer composition and molecular weight was thoroughly investigated and evaluated.
