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

Background: Advil PM Liqui-Gels are widely used to improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing sleep disturbances due to pain. To accommodate those who have difficulty swallowing traditional capsules, Advil PM Liqui-Gels Minis, a smaller capsule variant containing the same composition (ibuprofen/diphenhydramine hydrochloride 200 mg/25 mg) as the original Advil PM Liqui-Gels, was developed as a more manageable alternative. Objective: Establish the bioequivalence of new size-reduced Advil PM Liqui-Gels Minis (test) compared to the currently marketed Advil PM Liqui-Gels (reference) product under fasting conditions. Method: This Phase I study was a randomized, open-label, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period crossover trial. Subjects either received a single dose of test or reference product, separated by a 7-days washout period. Primary endpoints included PK parameters (C Results: Forty-four subjects were randomized, 42 completed both treatment periods for ibuprofen and 41 for diphenhydramine. The population was balanced in age, BMI, and gender, predominantly Hispanic/Latino. Mean C Conclusion: The new Advil PM Liqui-Gels Minis formulation is bioequivalent to the marketed Advil PM Liqui-Gels. The smaller capsule size may offer a more convenient option for individuals with swallowing difficulties, without compromising the drug's efficacy or safety.
