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

Co-milling with excipients offers an effective solvent-free strategy to enhance the dissolution of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. Nonetheless, the range of excipients available for co-milling, as well as the selection criteria, remains relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of co-milling with crosslinked swellable polymers on the dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs. A structurally diverse set of crystalline compounds (n = 13) were co-milled with the three commonly used tablet disintegrants: Croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate and crospovidone. In vitro dissolution profiles were assessed to evaluate the excipient performance and identify crucial drug descriptors relating to co-milling induced dissolution enhancement. All 39 co-milled formulations showed an increased drug intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR), with drug properties such as molecular size and polar surface area showing a positive correlation with the extent of IDR enhancement following co-milling. Moreover, co-milling consistently yielded greater initial dissolution (AUC
