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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveCo-Crystal of Tramadol-Celecoxib (CTC), in development for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain, is a first-in-class co-crystal containing a 1:1 molecular ratio of two active pharmaceutical ingredients; rac-tramadol·HCl and celecoxib. This randomised, open-label, crossover study compared the bioavailability of both components after CTC administration under fed and fasting conditions.

methodsHealthy adults received single doses of 200 mg CTC under both fed and fasting conditions (separated by a 7-day washout). Each dose of CTC was administered orally as two 100 mg tablets, each containing 44 mg tramadol·HCl and 56 mg celecoxib. In the fed condition, a high-fat, high-calorie meal [in line with recommendations by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)] was served 30 min before CTC administration. Tramadol, O-desmethyltramadol and celecoxib plasma concentrations were measured pre- and post-dose up to 48 h. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using non-compartmental analysis. Safety was also assessed.

resultsThirty-six subjects (18 female/18 male) received one or both doses of CTC; 33 provided evaluable pharmacokinetic data under fed and fasting conditions. For tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol, fed-to-fasting ratios of geometric least-squares means and corresponding 90% confidence interval (CI) values for maximum plasma concentration (C

conclusionsAs reported for standard-formulation celecoxib, food increased the bioavailability of celecoxib from single-dose CTC. Food had no effect on tramadol or O-desmethyltramadol bioavailability.
