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

The objective of the current study was to develop theophylline (TPH) nicotinamide (NAM) pharmaceutical co-crystals using the hot melt extrusion (HME) technology and evaluate the processability of the co-crystals using different polymeric carriers. A physical mixture of 1:1 M ratio of TPH and NAM was employed to prepare the co-crystals. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate, polyethylene oxide, and Kollidon® VA-64 (5% w/w) were investigated as polymeric carriers for the HME process. Solid-state characterization using differential scanning calorimetry showed two endothermal peaks, one at 126.4 °C indicating eutectic formation and another at 174 °C indicating the melting point of the co-crystal for all formulations, except the Kollidon® VA-64 extrudates, which showed a single peak at 174 °C. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction studies revealed the formation of co-crystals. The feasibility to formulate the extrudates into solid dosage forms was assessed by formulating a tablet blend. The three-month stability studies showed no degradation at the accelerated stability conditions of 40 (±2) ° C and 75 (±5) % RH. Finally, the results demonstrated that the presence of mixing zones in screw configuration and extrusion temperature are critical processing parameters that influence co-crystal formation.
