Optimization and Characterization of Sodium Alginate Beads Providing Extended Release for Antidiabetic Drugs.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The current research is aimed at investigating the relationship between the formulation components and conditions in the case of a binary drug delivery system, where antidiabetic drugs are co-formulated into polymeric micelles embedded in sodium alginate. Compared to chemical modifications of polymers with alginate, our development provides a simpler and scalable formulation process. Our results prove that a multi-level factorial design-based approach can ensure the development of a value-added polymeric micelle formulation with an average micelle size of 123.6 ± 3.1 nm and a monodisperse size distribution, showing a polydispersity index value of 0.215 ± 0.021. The proper nanoparticles were co-formulated with sodium alginate as a biologically decomposing and safe-to-administer biopolymer. The Box-Behnken factorial design ensured proper design space development, where the optimal sodium alginate bead formulation had a uniform, extended-release drug release mechanism similar to commercially available tablet preparations. The main conclusion is that the rapid-burst-like drug release can be hindered via the embedment of nanocarriers into biopolymeric matrices. The thermally stable formulation also holds the benefit of uniform active substance distribution after freeze-drying.
