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

Ibuprofen (IBU), a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits low aqueous solubility and polymorphic behavior, which can compromise its bioavailability and pharmaceutical performance. This study investigated the structural, electronic, and supramolecular properties of two polymorphic forms of IBU and assessed their influence on the development and performance of emulsion-based delivery systems. The solid-state description included Hirshfeld surface analysis and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules complemented by density functional theory and electronic reactivity descriptors. Two formulations, an emulsion (EM-IBU) and a nanoemulsion (NE-IBU), were prepared and characterized by droplet size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, density, and drug content via mass spectrometry. Compared to EM-IBU, NE-IBU exhibited a considerably smaller particle size (31.3 ± 0.3 nm vs 235.4 ± 4.3 nm), a lower polydispersity index (0.23 vs 0.16), a more negative zeta potential (-25.8 vs -22.1 mV), and a higher density (0.989 vs 0.967 g cm
