Effect of Food Viscosity on Drug Dissolution.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of food viscosity on the dissolution rate of a drug. There are two types of viscosity, macroviscosity and microviscosity. Macroviscosity affects the diffusion layer thickness, whereas microviscosity affects the molecular diffusion coefficient. The mass transfer coefficient (k
methodBenzocaine was used as a model drug. Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and methylcellulose (MC) were employed as control thickeners that increase only macroviscosity. Sucrose was employed as a control thickener for both macroviscosity and microviscosity. The FDA breakfast homogenate (BFH) was diluted with distilled water or 1 mM HCl with/without pepsin digestion. The IDR value was measured by the paddle-over-disk method.
resultsThe η value of 30% BFH distilled water was 209 mPa∙s, about 300 times higher than distilled water. It was further increased by HCl (430 mPa∙s), and reduced by pepsin digestion (35 mPa∙s). The k
