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

Abstract: Medicines are made up of one or more active ingredients and excipients. Active ingredients have pharmacological action and cause adverse reactions to medications, but what about excipients? They are necessary to achieve the appropriate properties of the medication, but they are not always harmless and can also cause adverse reactions.In order to provide community pharmacists with quick reference material during dispensing services, thus ensuring safe use of medicines, a bibliographic review of the available literature has been carried out, focusing on the identification of possible adverse reactions associated with excipients present in medicines and vaccines in both the pediatric and adult populations. A series of reference tables have been developed indicating potentially dangerous excipients, the adverse reactions they make produce, and the precautions to be taken into account in certain pathologies or if they are intended for the pediatric population.
