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

The effect of counterion was evaluated on the photodegradation behavior of six prazosin salts, viz., prazosin hydrochloride anhydrous, prazosin hydrochloride polyhydrate, prazosin tosylate anhydrous, prazosin tosylate monohydrate, prazosin oxalate dihydrate, and prazosin camsylate anhydrous. The salts were subjected to UV-Visible irradiation in a photostability test chamber for 10 days. The samples were analyzed for chemical changes by a specific stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography method. pH of the microenvironment was determined in 10%w/v aqueous slurry of the salts. The observed order of photostability was: prazosin hydrochloride anhydrous>prazosin camsylate anhydrous~prazosin-free base>prazosin hydrochloride polyhydrate>prazosin tosylate anhydrous>prazosin oxalate dihydrate~prazosin tosylate monohydrate. Multivariate analysis of the photodegradation behavior suggested predominant contribution of the state of hydration and also intrinsic photosensitivity of the counterion. Overall, hydrated salts showed higher photodegradation compared to their anhydrous counterparts. Within the anhydrous salts, aromatic and carbonyl counterion-containing salts showed higher susceptibility to light. The pH of microenvironment furthermore contributed to photodegradation of prazosin salts, especially for drug counterions with inherent higher pH. The study reveals importance of selection of a suitable drug salt form for photosensitive drugs during preformulation stage of drug development.
