Upping the antedrug: is a novel anti-inflammatory Toll-like receptor 7 agonist also a bronchodilator?
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In this issue of British Journal of Pharmacology, Biffen and colleagues present a novel Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) antedrug to treat allergic disease that is rapidly metabolized in the lung to limit side effects due to systemic exposure. Asthma is characterized as an allergic disease of the lung, and TLR7 agonists are proposed to ameliorate allergic inflammation in the lung, a characteristic of prophylactic medications. We have previously shown that TLR7 agonists of multiple structural classes are acute bronchodilators, characteristic of rescue medication for asthma attacks. It will be interesting to determine whether the bronchodilating effect extends to the novel class of TLR7 agonists described here for a prophylactic and rescue therapy in one drug. Combined with the antedrug approach, this would further limit side effects improving on current combination therapies.
