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 assess the stability of an extemporaneously compounded oral suspension of bosentan from commercially available tablets for a period of 1 month.

methodsA 6.25 mg/mL oral suspension of bosentan monohydrate was prepared from Tracleer tablets. The bosentan suspension was then evenly divided between 2 light-resistant prescription bottles and stored in the dark either under refrigeration (4-8°C) or at controlled room temperature (21-26°C). The suspensions were assessed for physical changes (ease of resuspendability, change in color, change in odor), and samples were drawn immediately after preparation and on days 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, and 31. Samples were analyzed at each time point by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) utilizing a reversed-phase column with chemical stability defined as the retention of at least 90% of the initial intact bosentan concentration measured.

resultsNo change in suspendability, color, or odor of the compounded bosentan suspensions was noted throughout the storage period. Furthermore, regardless of storage conditions, the oral suspension of bosentan retained at least 94% of the active pharmaceutical ingredient for 31 days after preparation.

conclusionThe results of our study indicate that a 6.25 mg/mL bosentan oral suspension stored in the dark under refrigeration and at room temperature maintains physical and chemical stability for 1 month.
