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

The present study investigates the co-crystallization process of rivaroxaban (RIV), a poorly water-soluble potent oral anticoagulant, with niacinamide (NIA), a highly soluble and pharmaceutically acceptable co-crystal former, in two different molar ratios (1:1 and 1:2). The aim was to enhance the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of rivaroxaban such as dissolution rate and aqueous solubility, by forming stable co-crystals through a solvent evaporation technique. The resulting co-crystals (RIV-NIA, 1:1 co-crystallization compound, F1 and RIV-NIA, 1:2 co-crystallization compound, F3) were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal analysis, which confirmed the formation of a new rivaroxaban-niacinamide co-crystalline phase. In vitro dissolution studies confirmed a significant enhancement in the dissolution rate of the two obtained co-crystals. These findings suggest that stoichiometric variation plays an important role in co-crystal performance and in improving solubility compared with the pure drug. Also, the obtained results suggest that niacinamide is an effective coformer for improving the dissolution and physicochemical properties of rivaroxaban.
