Microwave coprocessing of modafinil with Gelucire
Article in ADMET & DMPK, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Modafinil, a wakefulness-promoting agent, is primarily used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and fatigue. As a BCS class II drug, modafinil exhibits low solubility and high permeability, with its crystalline structure significantly impacting dissolution, bioavailability, and compressibility. This study explores the use of microwave energy to alter the crystalline structure of modafinil in the presence of Gelucire Methods: Modafinil was treated with microwave energy to form complexes with Gelucire Results: XRPD analysis revealed distinct crystalline patterns for microwave and hot-melt complexes compared to physical mixtures, with increased amorphousness observed through crystallinity, relative crystallinity, and relative intensity parameters. DSC thermograms indicated a reduction in melting endotherms and heat flow, suggesting structural changes due to complex formation. Compressibility and compactibility studies demonstrated optimal performance at low Gelucire Conclusions: The study demonstrates that microwave energy effectively alters the crystalline structure of modafinil in the presence of Gelucire
