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

purposeThe 24-hour stability of alemtuzumab solutions prepared at concentrations not included in the product label and stored in glass or polyolefin containers at room temperature was evaluated.

methodsTriplicate solutions of alemtuzumab (6.67, 40, and 120 μg/mL) in 0.9% sodium chloride were prepared in either glass bottles or polyolefin containers and stored at room temperature under normal fluorescent lighting conditions. The solutions were analyzed by a validated stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay at time zero and 8, 14, and 24 hours after preparation; solution pH values were measured and the containers visually inspected at all time points. Stability was defined as the retention of ≥90% of the initial alemtuzumab concentration.

resultsHPLC analysis indicated that the percentage of the initial alemtuzumab concentration retained was >90% for all solutions evaluated, with no significant changes over the study period. The most dilute alemtuzumab solution (6.67 μg/mL) showed some degradation (91% of the initial concentration retained at hour 24), whereas the retained concentration was >99% for all other preparations throughout the study period. Solution pH values varied by drug concentration but did not change significantly over 24 hours. No evidence of particle formation was detected in any solution by visual inspection at any time during the study.

conclusionSolutions of alemtuzumab 6.67 μg/mL stored in glass bottles and solutions of 40 and 120 μg/mL stored in polyolefin containers were stable for at least 24 hours at room temperature.
