Fabrication of Anti-glaucoma Nanofibers as Controlled-Release Inserts for Ophthalmic Delivery of Brimonidine Tartrate:
Article in Advanced pharmaceutical bulletin, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: Chronic ailments usually decrease the quality of life due to the requirement for repetitive administration of drugs. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease occurred because of increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Controlled-release inserts can overcome this challenge by a gradual release of the antiglaucoma drugs. This study aimed to fabricate ocular inserts of brimonidine tartrate (BMD) for the management of glaucoma. Methods: Different polymers including poly (D, L-lactide), polycaprolactone, cellulose acetate, and Eudragit RL100® were used to develop the BMD-loaded nanofibrous inserts by electrospinning technique. The inserts were characterized. The morphology and drug-polymer compatibility were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Results: SEM images demonstrated nanofibers with uniform morphology and a mean diameter<300 nm were fabricated. The nanofibers were high-strength and flexible enough to be placed in the conjunctival sac. FTIR showed drug-polymer compatibility. Conclusion: Due to the prolonged IOP-lowering efficiency, BMD-loaded nanofibrous inserts can be considered suitable for the controlled release of drugs and thus enhance patient compliance by reducing the frequency of administration.
