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

Originally, itraconazole for parenteral administration was licensed in a 40% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) solution for intravenous administration. A novel formulation, the NanoCrystal formulation (NCF), was prepared. NCF consists of drug particles of approximately 200 to 300 nm. The pharmacokinetics of itraconazole and its hydroxy metabolite in healthy subjects were evaluated after single and multiple doses of itraconazole as NCF. In the single-ascending-dose (SAD) study, itraconazole doses were planned to range from 50 to 500 mg, while in the multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) study, itraconazole doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg as NCF were studied, as was one dose level (200 mg) as an HBPCD solution. Samples were collected in heparinized tubes at various time points and were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography to allow full pharmacokinetic analysis both after the first dose and on day 7. The results of both the SAD and the MAD studies indicated that there was a dose dependency in the half-life of itraconazole from the novel formulation, increasing from 44 h (100 mg) to more than 150 h (300 mg) once steady state was achieved. Similar dose-dependent effects were observed for the hydroxy metabolite. The areas under the concentration-time curves for itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole were also dose dependent. The pharmacokinetic profiles after 200-mg doses of itraconazole as NCF and HPBCD formulations were comparable with respect to the terminal half-life, both after a single dose and at steady state. NCF may provide an alternative to the HPBCD solution for the further optimization of antifungal treatment with itraconazole.
