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

Bioequivalence (BE) is usually hard to achieve for extended-release (ER) dosage form products due to not only its complicated formulation but also to the BCS classification of the investigated drugs. Considering the difficulties in establishing full-scale IVIVC and limited in vivo pharmacokinetics data in the early stage of formulation development, we have selected BCS III drug metformin as a model drug to demonstrate a novel approach for the selection of BE formulations. Firstly, dissolution tests in both standard and biorelevant media were performed followed by identification of the most similar formulation WM to the reference product (GXR) based on principal component analysis (PCA) of the dissolution data. Then, we developed an IVIVC model using the reported GXR pharmacokinetics profiles via a convolution-based approach. Based on our established IVIVC and in vitro dissolution profiles of generic metformin ER products, we were able to predict their in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles and quantitatively compare the differences in AUC and C
