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

Oral formulations of aminosalicylates are widely used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), but their efficacy is limited by low absorption and bioavailability due to first-pass metabolism and gastric degradation. pH-sensitive hydrogels were formulated for colon-targeted, delayed drug release to address this concern. Moreover, molecular docking was conducted to evaluate the binding affinity between β-cyclodextrin (oligomer) and balsalazide disodium. 15 formulations were developed using a Box-Behnken design in Design-Expert® 11, varying the concentrations of cross-linker, oligomer, and monomer while keeping the initiator constant. Hydrogels were developed
