Preparation and In Vitro Evaluation of Montelukast Sodium-Loaded 3D Printed Orodispersible Films for the Treatment of Asthma.

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
This research aims to produce orodispersible films (ODFs) and determine their potential use in the oral delivery of montelukast sodium for asthma treatment and allergic rhinitis. ODFs were successfully developed by Three-dimensional (3D) printing using propylene glycol (PG), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG). Finally, the amount of montelukast sodium in the ODFs was 5% (w/w). Drug-excipients compatibility with Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, mass uniformity, thickness, disintegration time, folding endurance, moisture absorption, pH, in vitro drug release (dissolution), drug content, moisture loss, moisture content, mechanical properties, and cytotoxicity studies were performed on the prepared films. All formulations disintegrated in approximately 40 s. Over 98% of drug release from all films within 2 min was confirmed. It was reported that Fm1-4 (8% HPMC and 1% PEG) and Fm2-4 (10% HPMC and 3% PEG) are more suitable for drug content, but Fm2-4 may be the ideal formulation considering its durability and transportability properties. Based on the characterization results and in vitro release values, the montelukast sodium ODF can be an option for other dosage forms. It was concluded that the formulations did not show toxic potential by in vitro cytotoxicity study with 3T3 cells. This new formulation can efficiently treat allergic rhinitis and asthma diseases.
