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

purposeNanocrystals exhibit enhanced dissolution rates and can effectively increase the bioavailability of poorly water soluble drug substances. However, methods for in vitro characterization of dissolution are unavailable. The objective of this study was to develop an in situ noninvasive analytical method to measure dissolution of crystalline nanosuspensions based on light scattering.

methodsFenofibrate nanosuspensions were prepared by wet media milling. Their solubilities and dissolution profiles in simulated gastric fluid supplemented with 0.1% Tween(®) 80 were measured in a small scale setup with an instrument for dynamic light scattering and the intensity of scattered light as readout parameter.

resultsA good correlation was achieved between the dissolution profile of a nanosuspension measured in the light scattering setup and a conventional dissolution experiment. Nanosuspensions of 120-270 nm size could be distinguished by the light scattering method. The suspensions dissolved within 1.9-12.3 min. Over a concentration range of 40-87% of the solubility dissolution profiles of a nanosuspension with 140 nm were monitored and the determined total dissolution times were in good agreement with the Noyes-Whitney dissolution model.

conclusionsA noninvasive, sensitive and reproducible method is presented to assess nanocrystal dissolution. In situ measurements based on light scattering allow a straightforward experimental setup with high temporal resolution.
