The Stability of Drugs Commonly Used in Intensive Care Units Co-Administered via Feeding Tube and Its Dependence on pH: An in vitro Study.

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
<p>Introduction: The administration of medication through feeding tubes (FTs) represents a critical aspect of routine nursing practice. Although guidelines recommend the separate administration of medications to minimize potential interactions, it is common practice in the clinical settings for medications to be combined and administered simultaneously. Since there is a lack of data on this topic, this study assesses the stability of drugs crushed and mixed in water solution concurrently for administration through FT.
methodsThe drug compatibility was evaluated in vitro by monitoring the changes in drug content in water solution over time and identifying potential degradation products using a high-performance liquid chromatography system.
resultsThe majority of drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, furosemide, and prasugrel) maintained their stability during the entire preparation process. The only medication that showed degradation over time was pantoprazole (especially when combined with acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel), which was attributed to the acidic environment. The remaining drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, furosemide, and prasugrel) maintained their stability during the entire preparation process.
conclusionThis study proves that most drugs can be prepared and administered simultaneously, with the exception of acid-labile drugs, which undergo significant degradation in acidic solutions. </p>.
