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

Poor aqueous solubility limits the oral absorption of ezetimibe, and conventional self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) primarily address the solubilization barrier. In this study, ezetimibe-loaded SNEDDS were associated with a chitosan-tripolyphosphate (TPP) ionic network to generate chitosan-TPP-modified SNEDDS colloids (CS-SNEDDS) with additional mucin-interactive characteristics. The resulting CS-SNEDDS had a mean particle size of approximately 142 nm and a positive zeta potential, while retaining the apparent solubilization and rapid dispersion properties of the SNEDDS component. Compared with conventional SNEDDS, CS-SNEDDS showed markedly greater mucin association and increased apparent apical-to-basolateral transport across Caco-2 monolayers. Following oral administration to rats, CS-SNEDDS produced an AUC₀-₂₄h of 4715.62 ± 854.07 ng·h/mL, compared with 3647.39 ± 753.54 ng·h/mL for SNEDDS and 2176.84 ± 426.58 ng·h/mL for crystalline ezetimibe. The AUC₀-₂₄h of CS-SNEDDS was significantly higher than that of SNEDDS, whereas no significant difference in C
