Systemic exposure to fluticasone propionate administered via metered-dose inhaler containing chlorofluorocarbon or hydrofluoroalkane propellant.
Trial report in Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveThe pharmacokinetic profile of a single dose of inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP) administered via a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), containing either a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) or hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellant was investigated in healthy volunteers.
methodsTwo randomised, double-blind, crossover studies were conducted, each in 12 male volunteers. Both studies compared pharmacokinetic data after a single inhaled dose of FP 1000 microg from a MDI containing either CFC (CFC MDI) or HFA (HFA MDI) with a single intravenous dose of FP 250 microg.
resultsThe maximum plasma FP concentrations after inhalation via the 2 types of MDI were almost identical (0.56 and 0.54 microg/L for CFC MDI and HFA MDI, respectively); bioavailability values of inhaled FP from the 2 MDIs were also similar (geometric mean values: 26.4% via the CFC MDI and 28.6% via the HFA MDI). Inhalation of FP via both MDI formulations produced similar reductions in urinary cortisol excretion over 12 and 24 hours postdose.
conclusionThe bioavailability values of FP after inhalation via a CFC MDI and an HFA MDI are similar. The 2 formulations deliver comparable amounts of FP, and systemic exposures to FP from the 2 devices, measured by urinary cortisol excretion, are not significantly different.
