Polyelectrolyte-Complex-Based Hydrogel Inserts for Vaginal Delivery of Posaconazole and Probiotics.
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Worldwide, 40 to 50% of women suffer from reproductive tract infections. Most of these infections are mixed infections, are recurrent and difficult to treat with antimicrobials or antifungals alone. For symptomatic relief of infections, oral antimicrobial therapy must be combined with topical therapy. The purpose of this work is to optimize and develop a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) of chitosan/anion for the formulation of posaconazole- and probiotic-loaded vaginal hydrogel inserts with prolonged release and significant mucoadhesion. PECs were prepared using chitosan as cationic and carrageenan, pectin and polycarbophil as anionic polymers via a lyophilization technique. PEC formation was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, by observing changes in its surface, physical and thermal properties.
