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

objectivesThe objective of present study was to develop chitosan-based sustained release nicorandil microspheres to reduce the dosing frequency. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe nicorandil-loaded chitosan microspheres were formulated by emulsion crosslinking method. A 3(2) factorial design was employed to study the influence of drug: Polymer ratio and volume of glutaraldehyde (GA) on percentage entrapment efficiency, particle size, and % drug release at 8 h.

resultsThe entrapment efficiency was found to be 41.67 ± 1.43-77.33 ± 1.97% and particle size range 65.67 ± 2.08-146.67 ± 2.18 μm. The batch CH5 showed 79.11 ± 2.23 and 96.21 ± 2.41% drug release at 8 and 12 h, respectively.

conclusionsDRUG: Polymer ratio and volume of GA had significant effect on % entrapment efficiency, particle size, and % drug release. From the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study observed that microspheres were spherical and fairly smooth surface. Fickian diffusion was the mode of drug release from nicorandil-loaded chitosan microspheres formulations.
