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

purposeTo synthesize and characterize new cocrystals of berberine chloride (BCl) for potential pharmaceutical tablet formulation.

methodsSolutions of BCl with each of three selected cocrystal formers, catechol (CAT), resorcinol (RES), and hydroquinone (HYQ) were slowly evaporated at room temperature to obtain crystals. Crystal structures were solved using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Bulk powders were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry, FTIR, dynamic moisture sorption, and dissolution (both intrinsic and powder).

resultsSingle crystal structures confirmed the formation of cocrystals with all three coformers, which revealed various intermolecular interactions that stabilized crystal lattices, including O-H···Cl

conclusionThe enhanced pharmaceutical properties of all three cocrystals, as compared to BCl, further contribute to the existing evidence that confirms the beneficial role of cocrystallization in facilitating drug development. These new cocrystals expand the structure landscape of BCl solid forms, which is important for future analysis to establish a reliable relationship between crystal structure and pharmaceutical properties.
