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

The development of cannabidiol (CBD) orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is effective in treating anxiety in a patient-friendly manner. The application of Quality by Design (QbD) enhances the efficiency and robustness of the pharmaceutical development of CBD ODTs. The objective of this work was to develop a formulation for CBD ODTs using a QbD-driven approach. Quality target product profile, critical quality attributes, and an initial risk assessment were identified and evaluated. Subsequently, a Box-Behnken design was employed to analyze the effects of varied compression force, the quantity of microcrystalline cellulose, and the quantity of croscarmellose sodium to create a design space and control space. Results indicated that the design and control spaces produced tablets with hardness ranging from 4 to 6 kg-force, a disintegration time (DT) ≤ 30 s, and a friability ≤ 1%. All formulations contained 4% CBD (or 10 mg per tablet). The optimal formulation consisted of 35% microcrystalline cellulose and 1% croscarmellose sodium and was compressed at 1400 pounds per square inch. This formulation exhibited a hardness of approximately 5 kg-force, a DT of 13-15 s, and a friability of approximately 0.3%. Verification data confirmed the accuracy of the predictions made by computer software. The content uniformity and assay determined using validated high-performance liquid chromatography ranged between 90% and 100%. CBD was released from the CBD ODT in 1% sodium lauryl sulfate solution, with approximately 76% dissolved within 3 h in the dissolution study. In conclusion, the QbD-driven approach successfully facilitated the formulation development of CBD ODTs with the desired properties for the treatment of anxiety in a patient-friendly manner.
