Preparation of Tamsulosin Hydrochloride-Loaded Mucoadhesive In Situ Gelling Polymeric Formulation for Nasal Delivery in Geriatrics.

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
This study aimed to prepare tamsulosin hydrochloride (HCl)-loaded in situ gelling formulation by using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), gellan gum, poloxamer 188, and benzalkonium chloride. Physicochemical evaluation of formulations included determination of pH, viscosity, gelation time, gel strength, drug content, and sterility. In silico study was performed to analyze interactions between polymers, drug, and mucin glycoprotein. In vitro degradation time, drug release, ex vivo mucoadhesion time, permeation, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and stability studies were performed to assess the formulation. Formulations were transparent and displayed acceptable physicochemical attributes. Tamsulosin HCl and polymers interacted via non-covalent interactions. HPMC formed hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions with mucin protein while the drug formed hydrogen bonds only. Gel formulation degraded in simulated nasal fluid within 24 h. In situ gelling formulation showed 83.8 ± 1.7% drug release and remained adhered to the mucosa for 24.5 ± 1 h. A higher (~ 1.85 times) drug permeation was recorded through mucosa within 6 h by in situ gelling formulation when compared to control counterparts (aqueous solution of drug and in situ gelling formulation without poloxamer 188). Nasal administration of tamsulosin HCl by using in situ gelling formulation led to a ~ 3.3 and ~ 3.5 times, respectively, higher Cmax (maximum plasma concentration) and AUC
