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

Objectives: This study aimed to perform pre-formulation studies, formulation development, and formulation optimization for self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), a lipid-based formulation approach to improve the low solubility of bosentan monohydrate (BOS). Materials and Methods: Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were created for pre-formulation studies and formulation design for SNEDDS. The SNEDDS was optimized with BBD. The optimized BOS-loaded SNEDDS formulation was characterized by droplet size (DS), polydispersity index (PDI), dispersibility, an efficiency test of self-nanoemulsification, % transmittance, turbidity, robustness, and the effects of pH, viscosity, and thermodynamic and long-term stability studies. The Results: The optimum BOS-loaded SNEDDS had a DS of 16.76 nm and PDI of 0.200. The characterization studies satisfied SNEDDS requirements (does not deteriorate when diluted at different pHs; resistant to thermodynamic changes; self-emulsifying within 1 minute; Grade A; and transparent) for both blank and BOS-loaded SNEDDS. In long-term stability studies, it was found to be stable for six months. When Conclusion: Pre-formulation and formulation studies were carried out successfully, and lipid-based optimum BOS-loaded SNEDDS were obtained. The present study confirms the potential of optimum BOS-loaded SNEDDS, which was found to be stable over the long term, to increase the drug's solubility,
