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

purposeAmorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for solubility enhancementof poorly water-soluble drugs. The physical stability, however, remainsone of the most challenging issues for the formulation development.Many factors can affect the physical stability via different mechanisms, and therefore an in-depth understanding on these factors isrequired.

methodsIn this review, we intend to summarize the physical stability of ASDsfrom a physicochemical perspective whereby factors that can influence the physical stability areclassified into thermodynamic, kinetic and environmental aspects.

resultsThe drug-polymer miscibility and solubility are consideredas the main thermodynamicfactors which may determine the spontaneity of the occurrence of the physical instabilityof ASDs. Glass-transition temperature,molecular mobility, manufacturing process,physical stabilityof amorphous drugs, and drug-polymerinteractionsareconsideredas the kinetic factors which areassociated with the kinetic stability of ASDs on aging. Storage conditions including temperature and humidity could significantly affect the thermodynamicand kineticstabilityof ASDs.

conclusionWhen designing amorphous solid dispersions, it isrecommended that these thermodynamic, kinetic and environmental aspects should be completely investigatedand compared to establish rationale formulations for amorphous solid dispersions with high physical stability.
