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 and purpose: The pH value of the small intestine is physiologically maintained by bicarbonate buffer (BCB). However, the effect of BCB on the membrane permeation of drugs has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BCB on the passive membrane permeation of drugs. Experimental approach: The μFlux apparatus (pION Inc.) was used for permeability measurements. To avoid a pH change of BCB, a floating lid was newly developed for μFlux. The membrane filter was coated with a 10 % soybean lecithin-decane solution. The flux measurement was performed in an iso-pH condition (pH 6.5, BCB = 10 mM, buffer capacity ( Key results: The floating lid suppressed the pH increase to less than 0.1 for 120 min. The effective permeability ( Conclusion: Passive membrane permeation of lipophilic weakly acidic and basic drugs was slower in BCB than in PPB. This was suggested to be attributed to the slow neutralization rate of BCB, which affects the pH value adjacent to the membrane surface.
