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

To improve the solubility of atorvastatin and overcome the stability issues of liquid nanoemulsion, the current study aimed to synthesize solidified SNEDDS particles with aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 3 μm. The simple and chitosan-decorated liquid SNEDDS were dried by spray drying method and evaluated for their physicochemical properties, release characteristics and aerodynamic performance. A single dose pharmacokinetic study was performed in rabbits to establish the therapeutic performance of solidified nanoemulsion with respect to LIPITOR. The liquid SNEDDS were efficiently dried with pectin (1% w/w). The chitosan decorated solidified SNEDDS (SF10) have small particle size (2.02 μm), higher tapped density (0.733 g/cm
