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

Efficient delivery of oral drugs is dependent on their solubility in human intestinal fluid, a complex and dynamic fluid that contains colloidal structures composed of small molecules. These structures solubilize poorly water-soluble compounds, increasing their apparent solubility, and possibly their bioavailability. In this study, we conducted coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations with data from duodenal fluid samples previously acquired from five healthy volunteers. In these simulations, we observed the self-assembly of mixed micelles of bile salts, phospholipids, and free fatty acids. The micelles were ellipsoids with a size range of 4-7 nm. Next, we investigated micelle affinities of three model drugs. The affinities in our simulation showed the same trend as literature values for the solubility enhancement of drugs in human intestinal fluids. This type of simulations is useful for studies of events and interactions taking place in the small intestinal fluid.
