Validation of UV-Vis spectrophotometric colorimetric methods for Rifampicin quantification in PBS & biological matrices.
Article in Bioanalysis, 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
backgroundRifampicin (RIF) is the main treatment for tuberculous meningitis (TBM), but its limited penetration across the blood-brain barrier significantly reduces its therapeutic efficacy. To address this limitation, smart-pH nanoparticles were designed to release RIF in inflamed area and incorperated into a thermosensitive in situ gel for enhanced drug delivery via the olfactory nerve.
methodsUV-Vis spectrophotometry and colorimetric methods to quantify RIF in various media and biological matrices, including phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 and 5.0, plasma, and brain tissue. The main validation parameters assessed were selectivity, specificity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, precision, extraction recovery, and dilution integrity.
resultMethod validation followed International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, demonstrating excellent linearity (r
conclusionThis validated approach enables reliable RIF quantification in biological samples, supporting its application in in vitro release studies, ex vivo permeability studies, and in vivo pharmacokinetic evaluations. These findings contribute to the advancement of targeted drug delivery systems for TBM treatment.
