Small is Powerful: Demonstration of the Impact of Nanoformed Piroxicam in a Controlled Clinical Study.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeNew solutions are needed to enable the efficient use of poorly water-soluble drugs. Therefore, we aimed to demonstrate that decreasing particle size with a solution-to-particle method known as nanoforming can improve dissolution and thus bioavailability.
methodsPiroxicam, a poorly water-soluble non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), was used as a model compound. A Quality-by-Design (QbD) approach was used to nanoform piroxicam and a design space was established. The pharmacokinetics of piroxicam nanoparticles were compared to two marketed products in a clinical trial.
resultsNanoformed tablets showed a 33% increase in exposure during the first hour after dosing (AUC
conclusionsThe results show that nanoforming enabled more rapid absorption in comparison to a typical marketed tablet and indicate that nanoforming is an alternative to complex formulation such as cyclodextrins based products. The study outcomes support the potential of nanoforming for producing fast-acting dosage forms of poorly soluble drugs.
