Crystal engineering for poorly water-soluble drugs: From design to applications.
Review in Acta pharmaceutica Sinica. B, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The limited aqueous solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) remains a major challenge in drug development, severely compromising clinical performance. Crystal engineering has emerged as a powerful and versatile approach to address this issue by rationally designing API crystal structures through precise control of intermolecular interactions, thereby enhancing solubility, dissolution rates, and ultimately bioavailability. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in crystal engineering strategies for poorly water-soluble drugs, including polymorphs, cocrystals, solvates/hydrates, nanocrystals, organic framework solids, solid solutions, liquid crystals, amorphous solids, and salts. Additionally, key challenges in translational applications are discussed, including structure-property relationship, AI-driven computational modeling,
