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

objectivesThis study was designed to assess the physicochemical stability of warfarin sodium liquid formulations stored at room temperature and under refrigeration.

methodsFormulations of warfarin sodium 1mg/mL were prepared from either powder or tablets dispersed in mixture containing deionised water, glycerin, sodium phosphate and strawberry alcohol-free concentrate flavour and stored in amber glass bottles at 25°C and 4°C. Stability indicating high-performance liquid chromatography assay procedure was used to analyse the concentration of the drug at the time of preparation and on days 7, 14, 21, 30, 45, 60 and 90. Changes in colour, taste and pH, as well as visual evidence of precipitation, were assessed for physicochemical instability.

resultsBetween day 0 and day 90, the pH of the powder and tablet formulations stored at 25°C decreased by -1.40 units and -1.16 units, respectively. There were minor changes in pH for both formulations stored at 4°C. The formulation from powder stored at 25°C and 4°C maintained at least 90% of the initial warfarin concentration for 30 days and 45 days, respectively. The formulation from tablets stored at 25°C and 4°C maintained at least 90% of initial warfarin concentration for 21 days and 30 days, respectively.

conclusionWarfarin sodium in flavoured preservative-free formulation from powder is recommended and stable in amber glass bottles for at least 30 days stored at 25°C and 45 days stored at 4°C.
