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

purposeTo determine the extent of albumin diffusion from tissue pieces into medium during in vitro incubations, to develop and assess the utility of mathematical models describing this effect on the estimation of tissue-to-unbound plasma partition coefficients (Kpu) of drug substances and to derive factors to correct for associated errors.

methodsTwelve separate tissues were obtained from rats sacrificed by cervical dislocation, 48 h after an intravenous dose of 125I-human albumin, and tissue pieces incubated to determine the efflux of albumin into media over 2 to 4 h. A mathematical model was developed to predict and correct for the effect of albumin diffusion on the measured Kpu values of drugs.

resultsThe model predicted that the effect of albumin diffusion from tissue pieces during in vitro incubation (ranging from 14 to 59% remaining in tissue) on Kpu values was generally minimal, except for compounds that are highly plasma bound and have a low measured Kpu. Under these circumstances, the measured Kpu substantially underestimates the true value. An equation was derived from readily available or measurable parameters to correct for this underestimation.

conclusionsAlbumin diffuses from tissue pieces into protein free media during in vitro incubations until equilibrium is reached, defined by the albumin Kpu. Model predictions indicated that for the majority of compounds albumin diffusion would have a minimal effect on the measured Kpu value and that a correction factor could be calculated to account for any deviation.
