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

The purpose of the present study was to compare mesoporous and fumed silica nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance the aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability of raloxifene hydrochloride (RH). Mesoporous silica NPs (MSNs) and fumed silica NPs were used by freeze-drying or spray-drying methods. MSNs were obtained with different ratios of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Saturation solubility of the NPs was compared with the pure drug. The optimised formulation was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry. The pharmacokinetic studies were done by oral administration of a single dose of 15 mg/kg of pure drug or fumed silica NPs of RH in Wistar rats. MSNs enhanced the solubility of RH from 19.88 ± 0.12 to 76.5 μg/ml. Freeze-dried fumed silica increased the solubility of the drug more than MSNs (140.17 ± 0.45 μg/ml). However, the spray-dried fumed silica caused about 26-fold enhancement in its solubility (525.7 ± 93.5 μg/ml). Increasing the ratio of silica NPs enhanced the drug solubility. The results of XRD and SEM analyses displayed RH were in the amorphous state in the NPs. Oral bioavailability of NPs showed 3.5-fold increase compared to the pure drug. The RH loaded fumed silica NPs prepared by spray-drying technique could more enhance the solubility and oral bioavailability of RH.
