Preparation and Characterization of Ibuprofen Containing Nano-Embedded-Microparticles for Pulmonary Delivery.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
A fatal hereditary condition, cystic fibrosis (CF) causes severe lung problems. Ibuprofen (IBU), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, slows the progression of disease without causing significant side effects. Considering the poor water-solubility of the drug, IBU nanoparticles are beneficial for local pulmonary administration. We aimed to formulate a carrier-free dry powder inhaler containing nanosized IBU. We combined high-performance ultra-sonication and nano spray-drying. IBU was dissolved in ethyl acetate; after that, it was sonicated into a polyvinyl alcohol solution, where it precipitated as nanoparticles. Mannitol and leucine were added when producing dry particles using nano-spray drying. The following investigations were implemented: dynamic light scattering, laser diffraction, surface tension measurement, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, in vitro dissolution test, and in vitro aerodynamic assessment (Andersen Cascade Impactor). The particle diameter of the IBU was in the nano range. The spray-dried particles showed a spherical morphology. The drug release was rapid in artificial lung media. The products represented large fine particle fractions and proper aerodynamic diameters. We successfully created an inhalable powder, containing nano-sized IBU. Along with the exceptional aerodynamic performance, the ideal particle size, shape, and drug-release profile might offer a ground-breaking local therapy for CF.
