Bioequivalence and Safety of Bilastine 20 mg Orodispersible Tablets and Conventional Tablets: A Randomized, Single-Dose, Two-Period Crossover Study in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Conditions.

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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveOrodispersible tablets (ODT) rapidly dissolve in the oral cavity and can improve patient's convenience. This pharmacokinetic study assessed the bioequivalence of a novel 20 mg ODT formulation of bilastine compared with bilastine 20 mg tablets in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions.
methodsA phase I, single-center, open-label, two-period, two-sequence crossover randomized clinical trial was conducted. The study comprised two periods, in which participants were administered a single oral dose of bilastine 20 mg in the form of ODT as the test product, or conventional tablets as the reference product, and a washout of 7 days between each period. Blood samples were collected for up to 72 h. Bioequivalence was established if the 90% confidence intervals of the C
resultsA total of 42 healthy volunteers were randomized, and 41 completed the study. Pharmacokinetic parameters were comparable for both formulations after a single dose of 20 mg. Bilastine ODT and conventional tablets were bioequivalent as the 90% confidence intervals of the test over reference ratios were within the predefined range (80-125%). Both formulations were well tolerated and showed a similar safety profile.
conclusionsBilastine ODT was bioequivalent to the reference treatment formulated as conventional tablets when administered as a single oral dose of 20 mg under fasting conditions. Both formulations showed a similar tolerability and safety profile, with no serious adverse events or significant analytical alterations reported.
