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

Background: Due to the individual-level clinical variation in dosing requirements in commercially available drugs, attaining the objective of clinical individualization and precise drug administration continues to pose a global challenge. Currently, the optimal approach for preparing personalized and precise medications within the clinical setting is unknown. Aim: This study aimed to explore the effectiveness, safety and satisfaction of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology as a novel subdivision method in providing precise warfarin sodium (WFS) subdivided tablets for patients after prosthetic valve replacement (PVR). Methods: The optimal formulation, preparation process, parameters, and the relationship between dose and the printing volume were investigated, and the quality of the six specifications of WFS 3D-printed subdivided and pharmacist-split tablets was studied. A retrospective cohort study evaluated the effectiveness, safety, and satisfaction of patients taking WFS 3D-printed subdivided or pharmacist-split tablets. Results: The hardness, weight variation, drug content, and content uniformity of the six specifications of WFS pharmacist-split tablets did not comply with the European Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopoeia, and Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In contrast, all doses of 3D-printed subdivided tablets met the requirements. The 3D-printed subdivided group showed a significantly higher target international normalized ratio (INR) compliance rate (P<0.05) and lower over-anticoagulation rate (P<0.05) than the pharmacist-split group. Also, 66.67% of patients preferred taking 3D-printed subdivided tablets. Conclusion: 3D printing technology is superior to the traditional subdivision method, as it can improve the effectiveness and safety of patients receiving WFS anticoagulation after PVR.
