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

This study investigated effect of formulation and process variables on the quality attributes of lamivudine printlets manufactured by binder jetting 3D printing method. The variables studied through fractional design of experiment were number of solvent sprays, delay time, powder layer thickness, drying temperature and hydroxypropyl methyl percentage. The printlets were assessed for hardness, disintegration time (DT), and dissolution and chemical information by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Fourier transformed spectroscopy, near infrared hyperspectroscopy, and taste evaluation by electronic tongue. The printlet hardness and DT ranged from 2.5 to 21.1 N, and 2.3 to 317 s, respectively. The dissolution profile met USP specifications of > 85% drug dissolved in 30 min. XRPD indicated partial amorphization of the drug in the printlets and hyperspectroscopy indicated uniform distribution of the components in the formulation. Stability data indicated no significant change in quality of the printlets in terms of dissolution and assay. Excipients used in the formulation reduced the bitterness of the drug to some degree. In summary, binder jetting can be used to print personalized medication with quality control characteristics.
