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

The mucosal membrane of the oral cavity, due to its unique structure and availability, constitutes an appropriate site for the delivery of drugs, both with local and systemic effects. Mucoadhesive buccal films are drug dosage forms that due to their convenience of application, flexibility and size, are characterized by patients' compliance. Sodium alginate and pectin are natural polymers from the polysaccharides group, with mucoadhesive properties, that are widely applied to obtain buccal films. However, their hydrophilic nature and poor water resistance limit their application in sustained drug release formulations. Hence, the aim of this investigation was to design alginate/pectin buccal films by a one-step crosslinking technique-with the application of calcium carbonate. This technique was applied to prepare crosslinked alginate and alginate/pectin mucoadhesive films with a model antifungal drug-posaconazole. The obtained formulations were evaluated for the impact of crosslinking and pectin's presence on their pharmaceutical, mucoadhesive, mechanical and physicochemical properties. Additionally, the antifungal activity of the prepared films against
