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

purposeAbiraterone acetate (AbA) is a poorly water-soluble drug with an oral bioavailability of <10% and a significant pharmaceutical food effect. We aimed to develop a more efficient oral solid-state lipid-based formulation for AbA using a supersaturated silica-lipid hybrid (super-SLH) approach to achieve high drug loading, improve in vitro solubilization and mitigate the food effect, while gaining a mechanistic insight into how super-SLH are digested and release drug.

methodsThe influence of super-SLH saturation level and lipid type on the physicochemical properties and in vitro solubilization during lipolysis of the formulations was investigated and compared to the commercial product, Zytiga.

resultsSuper-SLH achieved significantly greater levels of AbA solubilization compared to Zytiga. Solubilization was influenced by the AbA saturation level, which determined the solid state of AbA and the relative amount of lipid, and the lipid utilized, which determined its degree of digestion and the affinity of the lipid and digestion products to the silica. A fine balance existed between achieving high drug loads using supersaturation and improving performance using the lipid-based formulation approach. The non-supersaturated SLH prepared with Capmul PG8 mitigated the 3-fold in vitro food effect.

conclusionSLH and super-SLH improve in vitro solubilization of AbA, remove the food effect and demonstrate potential to improve oral bioavailability in vivo. Graphical Abstract Abiraterone acetate was formulated as silica-lipid hybrids and demonstrated enhanced in vitro solubilization in comparison to pure abiraterone acetate and commercial product, Zytiga.
