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

In this study we have developed a high-dose dry powder inhaler formulation of indomethacin using a novel approach to carrier-based formulations. Specifically, larger drug particles serve as the carrier for the smaller micronized drug particles, such that an inhaled dose is combined with an oral dose. To study this system, the aerosol performance of a standard indomethacin-lactose formulation was compared to carrier-free micronized indomethacin and a drug-as-carrier formulation (a micronized indomethacin-coarse indomethacin blend). Indomethacin with lactose showed a very poor aerosol performance, indicating high adhesion between the drug and carrier. The performance of the carrier-free micronized drug was significantly better, indicating low cohesion. Coarse drug particles as a carrier allowed improved powder flow and aerosol performance while also providing a potential secondary route of absorption of indomethacin, namely oral. An optimal formulation ratio of 1:1 (
