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

purposeTo investigate the biodistribution of amphotericin B (AmB) in mice and rats following administration of liposomal AmB (AmBisome®) using a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling framework and to utilize this approach for predicting AmBisome® pharmacokinetics in human tissues.

methodsAmB plasma and tissue concentration-time data, following single and multiple intravenous administration of nonliposomal and liposomal AmB to mice and rats, were extracted from literature. The whole-body PBPK model was constructed and incorporated nonliposomal and liposomal subcompartments. Various structural models for individual organs were evaluated. Allometric relationships were incorporated into the model to scale parameters based on species body weight.

resultsA non-Michaelis-Menten mechanism was included into the structure of the liver and spleen liposomal compartments to describe saturable uptake of particles by the reticuloendothelial system. The model successfully described plasma and tissue pharmacokinetics of AmB after administration of AmBisome® to rats and mice.

conclusionsThe dual PBPK model demonstrated good predictive performance by reasonably simulating AmB exposure in human tissues. This modeling framework can be potentially utilized for optimizing AmBisome® therapy in humans and for investigating pathophysiological factors controlling AmB pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
