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

Enzyme replacement therapy is not effective for the brain, owing to the lack of transport of the enzyme across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Recombinant proteins such as the lysosomal enzyme, iduronidase, can penetrate the human BBB, following the re-engineering of the protein as an IgG fusion protein, where the IgG moiety targets an endogenous BBB transport system. The IgG acts as a molecular Trojan horse to ferry the fused protein into brain. AGT-181 is a genetically engineered fusion protein of human iduronidase and a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the human insulin receptor. Adult Rhesus monkeys were administered repeat intravenous doses of AGT-181 ranging from 0.2 to 20 mg/kg. Chronic AGT-181 dosing resulted in no toxicity at any dose, no changes in organ histology, no change in plasma or cerebrospinal fluid glucose, and no significant immune response. AGT-181 was rapidly removed from plasma, based on measurements of either plasma immunoreactive AGT-181 or plasma iduronidase enzyme activity. Plasma pharmacokinetics analysis showed a high systemic volume of distribution, and a clearance rate comparable to a small molecule. The safety pharmacology studies provide the basis for future drug development of AGT-181 as a new therapeutic approach to treatment of the brain in Hurler's syndrome.
