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

This study compares rivaroxaban-loaded polymeric microsphere systems with three types of surface microstructure. Three types of polymeric microspheres loaded with rivaroxaban were fabricated using a spray-drying technique: solvent-evaporated, surface-attached, and solvent-wet microspheres, depending on whether the drug and additives used are soluble in the solvent. The solvent-evaporated and surface-attached microspheres had a rivaroxaban/polyvinylpyrrolidone/sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) weight ratio of 1/0.25/2.2, and the solvent-wetted microspheres contained rivaroxaban/polyvinyl alcohol/SLS in equal weight ratio (1/0.25/2). The physicochemical properties of the microspheres were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and particle size distribution analysis. The aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of rivaroxaban in the three types of microspheres were compared to those of the drug powder. The solvent-evaporated, surface-attached, and solvent-wetted microspheres were approximately 208, 140, and 172 times as soluble as the drug powder, and the final dissolution rate (120 min) was approximately 5, 2, and 4 times that of the drug powder, respectively. In addition, the oral bioavailability increased by approximately 2, 1.3, and 1.6 times compared to that of the drug powder (area under drug concentration-time curve: 2101.3 ± 314.8, 1325.2 ± 333.3, and 1664.0 ± 102.6 h·ng/mL, respectively). Finally, the solvent-evaporated microspheres showed the greatest improvement (solvent evaporating microspheres > solvent wetted microspheres > surface-attached microspheres ≥ drug powder). Therefore, the solvent-evaporated microspheres may represent a novel oral dosage form that improves the oral bioavailability of rivaroxaban, a poorly soluble drug.
