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

Resveratrol (RSV) is a poorly water-soluble polyphenolic compound with various potential health benefits, but its pharmaceutical application is limited by low aqueous solubility and poor oral bioavailability. Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, offers a flexible approach for fabricating oral dosage forms with customized geometry and internal architecture. In this study, hot-melt extrusion (HME) combined with fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing was used to prepare RSV-loaded tablets with different infill patterns. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate and hydroxypropyl cellulose were selected as polymeric carriers to prepare RSV-loaded filaments suitable for FDM printing. The effects of infill pattern on the solid-state characteristics, dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, floating behavior, and in vitro drug release of the printed tablets were systematically investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, and polarized light microscopy indicated that RSV was mainly converted into an amorphous or molecularly dispersed state after HME and FDM processing. All designed tablets were successfully printed and showed acceptable shape fidelity, while different infill patterns resulted in variations in tablet weight, mechanical strength, floating duration, and release behavior. In vitro dissolution studies showed that the RSV release profiles were dependent on the internal infill architecture. Tablets with more complex infill patterns generally exhibited slower drug release, which may be related to differences in internal pore structure, medium penetration pathways, matrix hydration, and diffusion distance. Release kinetic analysis further suggested that RSV release from the printed tablets involved a combination of diffusion and polymer relaxation processes. These results demonstrate that infill pattern is an important structural parameter for modulating the mechanical performance and drug release behavior of FDM 3D-printed RSV tablets. This study provides useful guidance for the design of 3D-printed oral dosage forms with tunable release characteristics.
