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

Drug-polymer miscibility is a critical requirement for the efficient design and development of amorphous solid dispersions. The objective of the current study was to determine the miscibility between dapsone (DAP) and poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) (PVP-VA) through theoretical and experimental approaches, including the use of a thermodynamic phase diagram and Gibbs free energy of mixing. In the theoretical study, the difference in the solubility parameter between the DAP and PVP-VA was 2.74, the interaction parameter was 0.50, and the distance between the drug and polymer in the Bagley plot was 2.60. Hence, all these theoretical parameters favour the miscibility between DAP and PVP-VA. Melting point depression study (through thermal analysis) and Flory-Huggins theory were utilized for the practical determination of drug-polymer miscibility, where the interaction parameter was positive, suggesting limited miscibility. The obtained thermodynamic phase diagram and Gibbs free energy of mixing plot can provide an indication for the selection of appropriate drug-polymer ratios in stable and metastable zones and the optimum processing temperature required for the preparation of amorphous solid dispersions.
