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

purposeStudy the impact of CXCL13 neutralization on germinal center (GC) response in vivo, and build quantitative relationship between target coverage and pharmacological effects at the target tissue.

methodsAn anti-CXCL13 neutralizing monoclonal antibody was dosed in vivo in a T-dependent mouse immunization (TDI) model. A quantitative site-of-action (SoA) model was developed to integrate antibody PK and total CXCL13 levels in serum and spleen towards estimating target coverage as a function of dose. To aid in the SoA model development, a radio-labeled study using [I(125)] CXCL13 was conducted in mice. Model estimated target coverage was linked to germinal center response using a sigmoidal inhibitory effect model.

resultsIn vivo studies demonstrated that CXCL13 inhibition led to an architectural change in B-cell follicles, dislocation of GCs and a significant reduction in the GC absolute numbers per square area (GC/mm(2)). The SoA modeling analysis indicated that ~79% coverage in spleen was required to achieve 50% suppression of GC/mm(2). The 3 mg/kg dose with 52% spleen coverage resulted in no PD suppression, whereas 30 mg/kg with 93% coverage achieved close to maximum PD suppression, highlighting the steepness of PD response.

conclusionsThis study showcases an application of SoA modeling towards a quantitative understanding of CXCL13 pharmacology.
