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

aimThis research aims to develop nanostructured lipid carriers containing Lurasidone hydrochloride (LH) with Quality by Design (QbD) methodology to enhance its bioavailability, given LH's low water solubility (0.224 mg/ml) and bioavailability (9-19%). MATERIAL AND

methodsThe optimized LH-NLC formulation contains Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) as solid lipid, Caproyl 90 as liquid lipid and co-surfactant, and Tween 80 as surfactant. The hot emulsification method was used to formulate the LH-NLC using a three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design (BBD)for ascertaining functional relationships between particle size and entrapment efficiency (EE). Particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, surface morphology, percentage EE, and in vitro and ex-vivo release were assessed. Wistar rats were used to estimate plasma drug concentration after LH-NLC administration.

resultsThe developed formulation exhibited a particle size of 190.98 ± 4.72 nm, zeta potential of + 17.47 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 94 ± 1.26% w/w. LH-NLCs showed a drug release rate of 95.37% within 24 hours. Intranasal administration of LH-NLCs resulted in 5.16 times higher bioavailability compared to intranasally administered lurasidone.

conclusionThe study successfully applied QbD methodology to develop NLCs for LH with enhanced bioavailability, demonstrating improved drug entrapment and delivery efficacy for treating psychosis.
