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

This study aimed to establish a more sensitive and reliable quantitative method for determining rafoxanide (RFX) in ovine plasma. The method was applied in an 84-day long-term comparative pharmacokinetic trial to evaluate the performance of a rafoxanide nanosuspension (RFX-NS) versus its conventional suspension (RFX-S) in sheep. Characterization of the two formulations revealed the following results: RFX-NS had an average particle size of 484.93 ± 43.11 nm, a uniform size distribution (PDI 0.06 ± 0.07), and a Zeta potential of -43.59 ± 0.67 mV, which were significantly superior to those of RFX-S (particle size 2379.67 ± 121.71 nm, PDI 0.93 ± 0.10, Zeta potential -38.10 ± 0.55 mV), demonstrating excellent physical stability. In vitro dissolution tests indicated a higher dissolution rate for RFX-NS (97.6% at 60 min). By integrating formulation characterization, in vitro dissolution assessment, and pharmacokinetic studies, this research provided a comprehensive analysis of the differences between the two formulations. Pharmacokinetic results showed that, compared to RFX-S, RFX-NS had a significantly reduced apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F: 856.02 ± 274.00 vs. 1404.17 ± 285.1 mL/kg,
