Management of intraocular pressure and inflammation using febuxostat film:
Article in ADMET & DMPK, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and purpose: Urate crystal accumulation may lead to the condition of ocular tophaceous gout, causing ocular inflammation and increased intraocular pressure (IOP) due to the triggering of several inflammatory receptors like NLRP3, A2A, and TLR4. The study has been undertaken to manage intraocular pressure and inflammation using febuxostat (FBX) film formulation for sustained and improved activity, particularly for long-term tophaceous gout patients. Experimental approach: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100 matrix-based hydrogel film of FBX has been fabricated in the presence of plasticizers like triethanolamine, dimethyl-sulphoxide (DMSO), or polyethylene glycol 600 using casting and evaporation technique. Carrageenan was injected into the upper palpebral region to induce ocular inflammation, and a normotensive rabbit eye model was used for monitoring IOP. Key results: Amorphization of the drug was observed from the differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction results. Conclusion: Febuxostat-loaded hydrogel-forming plasticized film could be utilized to better manage and control ocular inflammation and associated IOP, particularly in ocular tophaceous gout patients.
