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

Desvenlafaxine (DES) and Alprazolam (ALP) are the drugs commonly prescribed together for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorders (MDD). A literature survey revealed, there is no method for the simultaneous determination of these two drugs. The purpose of this research was to develop and validate a simple, accurate, precise, robust, and isocratic RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of DES and ALP in human spiked plasma using UV-detector in short analysis time. The method utilized Hypersil BDS C18 (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) through an isocratic mode of elution using HPLC grade acetonitrile and 0.02M KH2PO4 buffer (65:35) and 0.1% Tri Fluoro Acetic acid (TFA) with pH 4.00 adjusted with 1M KOH. The flow rate was 1.00 mLmin-1 and elution of the drugs was monitored at 230nm. The elution time of DES and ALP was 4.011 and 5.182 minutes respectively. The method was linear for the concentration range 10-150 μgmL-1 for DES and 5.0-75.0 μgmL-1 for ALP. According to the validation results, the method is sensitive with Limit of Detection (LOD) 4.740 μgmL-1 and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) of 14.365 μgmL-1 for DES and LOD 1.891 μgmL-1 & LOQ 5.730 μgmL-1 for ALP. The reproducibility of results with minute deliberate variations in method parameters has proven that the method is robust. The data from stability studies show a non-significant change in drugs solutions for 2 months. The optimized method was validated as per International Conference for Harmonisation (ICH) Q2(R1) guidelines. This method can be used for the estimation of DES and ALP in plasma and can evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters of both drugs simultaneously.
