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

introductionThe purpose of this study was to improve the solubilization, bioavailability, and permeability of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) by the formulation and characterization of HCTZ solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) based on fat derived from Irvingia gabonensis var. excelsa (Irvingia wombolu) and Phospholipon(®)90G (P90G). MATERIALS AND

methodsIrvingia fat was extracted from the nut of I. gabonensis var. excelsa using petroleum ether (40-60°C). HCTZ loaded SLM were formulated using hot homogenization method with 5% w/w Irvingia fat/P90G at each of 1:0, 9:1, 4:1, and 3:1 ratios, 1% w/w HCTZ, 1.5% w/w Labrasol(®) surfactant and distilled water. Subsequently, particle size analysis, pH, syringeability, drug encapsulation efficiency (EE%), yield, freeze-thaw cycle test, drug release, diffusion, and kinetics were evaluated.

resultsThe SLM dispersions showed a particle size range of 10.15 ± 2.36 to 13.50 ± 6.88 μm and pH of 5.6-6.4 while dispersions containing 3:1 Irvingia fat/P90G passed through most of the needles (18G, 21G, and 22G) after syringeability studies. A single freeze-thaw cycle caused loss of physical integrity. The EE% of the SLMs were ≥80%, with high yield. The highest drug release and diffusion was observed with SLMs prepared with 3:1 Irvingia fat-P90G mixture (HDP3) and Higuchi model best described the kinetics of the HCTZ release by Fickian diffusion.

conclusionThe release and permeability of HCTZ was improved by its incorporation into Irvingia fat and P90G (3:1) as SLMs.
