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

This article introduces ContCarSim, a benchmark simulator for the development and testing of quality-by-design and quality-by-control strategies in the continuous intensified filtration-drying of paracetamol/ethanol slurries on a novel carousel technology, developed by Alconbury Weston Ltd (United Kingdom). The simulator is based on a detailed mechanistic mathematical modeling framework, and has been validated with filtration and drying experiments on a prototype equipment. A set of design- and control-relevant challenges to be addressed through ContCarSim are proposed. A case study is developed, to demonstrate the features of the simulator and its suitability to design, test and optimize the unit operation. ContCarSim is expected to promote the transition to end-to-end continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing and the adoption of closed-loop quality control by the pharmaceutical industry. The simulator can also be employed as a benchmark for data analytics and process monitoring studies.
