5-Aminosalicylic Acid Distribution into the Intestinal Membrane Along the Gastrointestinal Tract After Oral Administration in Rats.

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
background5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), the first-line therapy for ulcerative colitis, is a poorly soluble zwitterionic drug. Unformulated 5-ASA is thought to be extensively absorbed in the small intestine.
methodsThe pH-dependent solubility of 5-ASA in vitro and the intestinal membrane distribution of 5-ASA and its N-acetyl metabolite (AC-5-ASA) after the oral administration of 5-ASA were examined in fed rats. 5-ASA was administered as a suspension in water, 0.1 M HCl, or 0.1 M NaOH to untreated rats or as a solution in 5% NaHCO
results5-ASA solubility in vitro was higher at pH < 2 and pH > 7. In rats, the 5-ASA and AC-5-ASA were detected mostly in the small intestine at 3 h and in the colonic region at 8 h after administration. The dosing vehicle (suspension or solution) and lansoprazole pretreatment did not significantly affect the pH of the luminal fluid in rats or the 5-ASA distribution in membranes.
conclusionsThe 5-ASA distribution in membranes in the proximal intestine was found to be restricted by the intrinsic regional luminal pH, low solubility, and saturable membrane permeability. Unabsorbed 5-ASA in the proximal intestine was delivered to the distal intestine. The higher the oral dose of 5-ASA, the more 5-ASA may be delivered to the distal intestine due to the restricted absorption in the small intestine.
