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

backgroundA simple suspension method is used in medical practice to administer several orexin receptor antagonists for patients with dysphagia; however, detailed suspension and passage through catheter evaluations have not been performed. Therefore, to safely administer orexin receptor antagonists using the simple suspension method in patients with dysphagia, this study evaluated the disintegration, suspension, passage through the catheter, and drug recovery after passage of Belsomra® 20 mg (suvorexant), Dayvigo® 10 mg (lemborexant), and Quviviq® 50 mg (daridorexant) tablets through a catheter.

methodsDisintegration and suspension of Belsomra® 20 mg, Dayvigo® 10 mg, and Quviviq® 50 mg tablets, and passage through the catheter were visually confirmed. Drug recovery after passage through the catheter was quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

resultsIn this study, there was no disintegration and suspension of Belsomra® 20 mg tablets. However, Dayvigo® 10 mg and Quviviq® 50 mg tablets demonstrated disintegration and suspension, including passage through the catheter after rapid and complete disintegration. Drug recovery after catheter passage was >80% for Dayvigo® 10 mg without flushing and for Quviviq® 50 mg after two flushes.

conclusionAs the disintegration and suspension properties of Belsomra® 20 mg tablet could not be confirmed, the conventional simple suspension method is not suitable for this product. However, Dayvigo® 10 mg and Quviviq® 50 mg tablets showed potential suitability for the simple suspension method.
