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
purposeGranulation is one of the important unit operations in the manufacturing of solid dosage forms like tablets and capsules that regulate the quality of end products. It is a process of particle enlargement by agglomeration technique, which improves flow properties, compressibility, reduction of dust formation, drug content uniformity, dissolution rates, and overall product stability. Traditionally, it has been a batch process due to a better understanding of the process. However, there has been a shift towards continuous manufacturing using a Twin-screw granulator, which is more robust, scalable, and versatile for a wide range of applications.
methodsThis work presents the innovative use of Twin screw wet granulation (TSWG) in the development of Quetiapine fumarate (QTF) immediate release tablets. Various process parameters (Screw configuration, liquid-to-solid (L/S) ratios), and binders (HPC and PVP) were evaluated to determine their effect on granule quality. Further, the obtained granules were tested for particle size distribution and flow properties.
resultsA higher percentage of uniform-sized granules were yielded with three mixing zones even with a lower liquid addition compared to that of one mixing zone with a higher liquid addition. These granules were further tableted and tested for their hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution. The tablets disintegrated and released the drug (~ 95%) rapidly within 5 min in 0.1 N HCl due to QTF's high solubility and porosity of granules.
conclusionsOverall, the understanding of process parameters and their influence on granule and tablet characteristics would help establish a more robust and continuous manufacturing of dosage forms.
