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

purposeHuman serum albumin (HSA) is used clinically as an important plasma expander. Albumin infusion is not recommended for critically ill patients with hypovolemia, burns, or hypoalbuminemia because of the increased leakage of albumin into the extravascular spaces, thereby worsening edema. In the present study, we attempted to overcome this problem by producing a recombinant HSA (rHSA) dimer with decreased vascular permeability and an increased half-life.

methodsTwo molecules of rHSA were genetically fused to produce a recombinant albumin dimer molecule. The pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of the recombinant proteins were evaluated in normal rats and carrageenin-induced paw edema mouse model.

resultsThe conformational properties of this rHSA dimer were similar to those for the native HSA (the HSA monomer), as evidenced by the Western blot and spectroscopic studies. The biological half-life and area under the plasma concentration-time curve of the rHSA dimer were approximately 1.5 times greater than those of the monomer. Dimerization has also caused a significant decrease in the total body clearance and distribution volume at the steady state of the native HSA. rHSA dimer accumulated to a lesser extent in the liver, skin, muscle, and fat, as compared with the native HSA. Up to 96 h, the vascular permeability of the rHSA dimer was less than that of the native HSA in paw edema mouse models. A prolonged plasma half-life of the rHSA dimer was also observed in the edema model rats.

conclusionsrHSA dimer has a high retention rate in circulating blood and a lower vascular permeability than that of the native HSA.
