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

purposeTo establish an in vitro-in vivo level A correlation (IVIVC) for pramipexole slow-release formulations.

methodsThe IVIVC was developed based on data from an immediate-release (IR) and three slow-release (SR) formulations of pramipexole; a fourth SR formulation was used for validation purposes. In vitro dissolution profiles were obtained from all SR formulations. Fifteen volunteers received all pramipexole formulations in a randomized cross-over trial. Data were analyzed using the population modelling approach as implemented in NONMEM VI.

resultsDissolution profiles of the SR formulations were described by the Weibull model. The pharmacokinetics of the IR formulation were described by a two-compartment disposition model with first-order absorption. Difference between the in vivo and in vitro estimates of the release rate constants (k(d)) from the Weibull function suggests the release process occurs faster in vivo. Pharmacokinetic profiles for SR formulations were described based on the in vitro release model with k(d) increased in 0.058 h(-1) and the population pharmacokinetic model developed from the IR formulation.

conclusionA level A IVIVC was established and evaluated for the pramipexole SR formulations, which can be used in the future as a surrogate to avoid certain bioequivalence studies.
