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

A viral infection can cause colds and coughs, which are common respiratory ailments. A robust and efficient RP-HPLC method was proposed for the concurrent determination of guaifenesin (GUF), ephedrine (EPD), diphenhydramine (DPH), and dextromethorphan (DEX) in pharmaceutical formulations. The study attempted to design seven ecologically friendly tools using green and white measures to assess the environmental effects of inventive and forthright RP-HPLC strategies for analyzing and separating the quaternary mixture under its marketed form. The method employed an Inertsil ODS-3 V column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase consisting of methanol, water, and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate. The optimal wavelength for detection was set at 250 nm, and the flow rate was maintained at 2.0 mL/min. As a result, the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were calculated to be satisfactory. The calibration curves were established in the 3–80 µg/mL range to investigate the linearity with R2 > 0.999. Recovery studies confirmed the method’s trueness and significant results were demonstrated within the acceptable range of 98–102%. The study was assured according to ICH parameters, demonstrating excellent linearity and robustness.
