Scalability of API-Loaded Multifilament Yarn Production by Hot-Melt Extrusion and Evaluation of Fiber-Based Dosage Forms.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fiber-based technologies are widely used in various industries, but their use in pharmaceuticals remains limited. While melt extrusion is a standard method for producing medical fibers such as sutures, it is rarely used for pharmaceutical fiber-based dosage forms. The EsoCap system is a notable exception, using a melt-extruded water-soluble filament as the drug release trigger mechanism. The challenge of producing drug-loaded fibers, particularly due to the use of spinning oils, and the processing of the fibers are addressed in this work using other approaches. The aim of this study was to develop processes for the production and processing of pharmaceutical fibers for targeted drug delivery. Fibers loaded with polyvinyl alcohol and fluorescein sodium as a model drug were successfully prepared by a continuous melt extrusion process and directly spun. These fibers exhibited uniform surface smoothness and consistent tensile strength. In addition, the fibers were further processed into tubular dosage forms using a modified knitting machine and demonstrated rapid drug release in a flow cell.
