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

The presence of substandard and falsified (SF) medicines poses a significant challenge in resource-limited countries. Low-quality antibiotics are commonly reported in low-income countries. The present study aimed to develop and validate a liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection (LC-UV) for the identity screening and assay of 13 different injectable antibiotics, i.e., cefepime, amoxicillin, cefazolin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, vancomycin, flucloxacillin, cloxacillin, benzylpenicillin, and meropenem in pharmaceutical formulations. Separation was performed using an XBridge C18 column and gradient elution. Mixtures of acetonitrile and 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) were used as the mobile phases. The screening method was validated in terms of specificity and robustness, while linearity, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity were checked for the quantification method. The determination coefficients (R
