Doxycycline and Monocaprin In Situ Hydrogel: Effect on Stability, Mucoadhesion and Texture Analysis and In Vitro Release.

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.
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 aim of this study was to develop a stable aqueous formulation containing a combination of doxycycline and monocaprin in clinically relevant concentrations. Increase in expression of Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and microbial role in oral diseases is well established and the combination of above active ingredients could be potentially beneficial in treatment of oral mucosal conditions. The hydrogels containing different concentrations of doxycycline and monocaprin in the presence and absence of stabilizing excipients were developed and their stabilities were studied at 4 °C for up to 1 year. The drug-drug interaction was evaluated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The addition of monocaprin on doxycycline in situ hydrogel's mucoadhesiveness, texture properties and drug release mechanism was studied. The addition of monocaprin negatively affected the doxycycline stability and was concentration dependent, whereas monocaprin was stable up to 1 year. Doxycycline did not interfere with the anti-Candidal activity of monocaprin. Furthermore, the presence of monocaprin significantly affected the formulation hardness, compressibility and adhesiveness. Monocaprin and doxycycline release followed zero order kinetics and the release mechanism was, by anomalous (non-Fickian) diffusion. The addition of monocaprin increased the drug release time and altered the release mechanism. It is possible to stabilize doxycycline in the presence of monocaprin up to 1 year at 4 °C.
