Pharmaceutical Equivalence of Film-Coated and Chewable Tablets: A Comparative Dissolution Study Using Pulverized Chewable Tablets.
Article in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Famotidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. It is available in multiple formulations, including film-coated tablets, chewable tablets, oral suspension, and injections. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the film-coated tablet (FT) containing famotidine, magnesium hydroxide, and precipitated calcium carbonate, designed to be pharmaceutically equivalent to the marketed chewable tablet (CT). To achieve the pharmaceutical equivalence of two tablets, the dissolution profiles of FT should be similar to those of CT. However, since CT is intended to be chewed before swallowing, testing it in its intact form would not provide accurate results. Therefore, pulverized chewable tablets (PCT) were used as the reference product. The dissolution, performed by the paddle method at 50 rpm, was analyzed by the validated UV method.
