Citric Acid — living evidence map
The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.
Summary
Citrate is a common buffer in injectable biologics; a systematic review found that five of seven direct comparisons reported less injection-site pain with citrate-free formulations. · pmid:36043729
Identity
PubChem CID 22230: 2-Hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid hydrate (1:1), C6H10O8, 210.14 g/mol. · pubchem:22230
CAS registry number 5949-29-1. · pubchem:22230
IUPAC name: 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid;hydrate. · pubchem:22230
Where the evidence actually sits
Proportion of the 1 claim about Citric Acid standing at each tier. Community volume is shown on the Consensus tab beside this and is never averaged into it.
Living evidence history
1 resolved citation, oldest to newest, coloured by tier. Retractions and contradictions land here as they are recorded.
Structure
No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Citric Acid yet.
Dose evidence, rung by rung
No established safe human dose. Nothing on file establishes one. That is a statement about the evidence PepJunkie holds, not a promise about the molecule.
- Approved-label dose · a resolved regulatory document names a labelled dose
nothing resolved on this rung
- Studied human doses · resolved human studies at the established tier
nothing resolved on this rung
- Observational evidence · resolved human data at the emerging tier: thin, or contested
- A Systematic Literature Review of Injection Site Pain Perception in Adult Patients Treated with Citrate-Free and Citrate-Containing Biologic Agents. · pmid 36043729 · 2023
- Community-reported protocols · protocol propositions from distinct members, counted once per human
nothing resolved on this rung
- Preclinical evidence · resolved animal, cell or mechanistic work
nothing resolved on this rung
1 resolved citation, 0 unresolved (an unresolved citation lends nothing). Community volume is its own rung and is never averaged into the evidence rungs.
