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

rationaleNorvancomycin (NVCM) hydrochloride belongs to a group of glycopeptide antibiotics and exhibits strong effects against Gram-positive cocci and bacilli. The safety of patients' lives is directly related to the quality of drugs. The impurities play often an important role in this process. This study aimed to investigate the impurity profile of NVCM hydrochloride.

methodsTo identify the impurities, a simple and sensitive ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) method was developed. An ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) was used. The flow rate was set at 0.2 mL/min. Mobile phase (A) consisted of 10 mmol/L ammonium formate (pH 9.0) and mobile phase (B) was methanol. Gradient elution was performed as follows: 0-5 min, 15% B; 5-25 min, 15% B to 20% B; 25-40 min, 20% B to 70% B. Stress degradation experiments were conducted to check the specificity of the method.

resultsThirteen impurities and two degradation products were characterized using UHPLC-QTOF-MS.

conclusionsBased on MS/MS spectral data and exact mass measurements, the chemical structures of the impurities were elucidated. This study provided a reference method for the quality control of NVCM hydrochloride.
