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

To develop an improved crystallization process for meropenem trihydrate, an important carbapenem antibiotic, the pH-dependent solubility of meropenem trihydrate in different solvent systems was investigated using the laser monitoring dynamic method. The solubility data displayed a characteristic U-shaped profile. The solvent composition could also affect the solubility data and the isoelectric point of meropenem. The experimental solubility data were well correlated with the Tsuji model. Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis highlighted the significance of O···H/H···O interactions in the crystal structure. Molecular electrostatic potential surfaces (MEPs) revealed complementary positive and negative regions on the meropenem molecule, enabling solute-solute aggregation through electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provided deeper insights into the influence of ethanol and acetone on the solvation layer of meropenem. Additionally, the effects of pH value and solvent composition on the crystallization process of meropenem trihydrate were discussed. The crystal habit is affected by variations in solvent composition and pH. Finally, the combined effects of solvent polarity, dielectric constant, and solvation on both solubility and the crystallization process were comprehensively summarized.
