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 opioid-like characteristics of mitragynine with biased μ-opioid receptor activation are attractive for pain and addiction therapy due to less addictive issue. Our previous work has shown the potential of delivering mitragynine through the skin but drug degradation hindered a reliable understanding of its permeation behaviour. This study aims to optimise the use of antioxidants in both the receptor medium and formulations for in vitro permeation studies of mitragynine (5%w/v) using single solvent systems. The optimised receptor medium with 0.01%w/v of ascorbic acid in phosphate buffer saline was chosen due to a high mitragynine recovery that also allowed the detection of a higher mitragynine amount permeated. Dimethyl sulphoxide and Transcutol
