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

The aim of this study was to develop a thermosensitive mucoadhesive (MA) in situ nasal gel for sumatriptan. A 3D response surface methodology (Design of Expert version 11) was employed to formulate nine different formulations. The Pluronic F-127 concentration (X1) and chitosan concentration (X2) were selected as independent factors. The formulas were studied in terms of pH, clarity, drug content, gelation temperature, gelation time, gel strength, MA strength, viscosity, % release after 5 h, and release kinetics. The optimized formulas were studied for % permeated after 5 h and stability in addition to previous tests. The study of the stability of the optimized formula was performed under accelerated conditions (40 ± 2 °C, 75 ± 5% RH) for 3 months. The outcomes of the optimized formula were a clear gel with a gelation temperature of 33 °C and a reasonable gelation time of less than one minute, and the release and permeation during 5 h were 40% and 50%, respectively. The formulated gel decreased the mucociliary clearance (MCC) and thus increased the retention time in the nasal cavity, resulting in enhancing SMT absorption, which could improve the drug efficacy.
