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

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) remains one of the most widely applied analytical techniques in the development and quality control testing of finished pharmaceutical products. The combination of gradient chromatographic methods with diode-array detection (DAD) enhances selectivity, ensuring accuracy and reliability when testing drugs with diverse chemical properties in a single dosage form (i.e., fixed-dose combination (FDC) products). In this study, an RP-DAD-HPLC method was developed for the quantitative analysis of clofazimine (CFZ) and pyrazinamide (PZA) for inclusion in an FDC topical drug delivery system. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 µm particle size) with gradient elution at 1 mL/min, employing 0.1% aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile (mobile phases). PZA and CFZ were detected at 254 nm and 284 nm, respectively. The method was validated in accordance with ICH Q2 guidelines, assessing specificity (considering interference from solvents, product matrix, and degradation products), linearity (7.8-500.0 µg/mL, r
