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

We previously reported that the bioavailability (BA) of irbesartan (IRB), a BSC class II drug, was improved by preparing nanocrystalline suspensions. However, nanocrystalline suspensions have chemical and physical instabilities and must be converted into tablets through drying approaches in order to overcome such instabilities. In this study, we attempted to design a molded tablet based on nanocrystalline IRB suspensions (IRB-NP tablet) and investigated the effects of this IRB-NP tablet on blood pressure (BP) in a stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHR-SP) rat. The IRB-NP tablet (with a hardness of 42.6 N) was developed by combining various additives (methylcellulose, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin HPβCD, D-mannitol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and gum arabic) followed by bead-milling and freeze-drying treatments. The mean particle size in the redispersions of the IRB-NP tablet was approximately 118 nm. The solubility and intestinal absorption of IRB in the IRB-NP tablet were significantly enhanced in comparison with the microcrystalline IRB tablet (IRB-MP tablet), and both solubility and clathrin-dependent endocytosis helped improve the low BA of the IRB. In addition, the BP-reducing effect of the IRB-NP tablet was significantly higher than that of the IRB-MP tablet. These results provide useful information for the preservation of nanocrystalline suspensions of BCS class II drugs, such as IRB.
