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

backgroundRecombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) is approved for use in controlling bleeding episodes in people with hemophilia who have developed inhibitors to replacement therapy. Due to its short half-life (t½), frequent injections are required, limiting its use as a prophylactic treatment. A novel, recombinant fusion protein linking coagulation factor VIIa with albumin (rVIIa-FP) has been developed to extend the t(½) of rFVIIa.

objectivesThe aim of our studies was to investigate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of rVIIa-FP in preclinical animal species.

methodsPharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were derived after single intravenous dosing in hemophilia A mice, rats, rabbits and monkeys. PK analysis was based on human FVII plasma levels determined by measuring FVII antigen levels by ELISA in mice and rats, and FVIIa activity using STACLOT® VIIa-rTF in rabbits and monkeys. Induction of thrombin generation was investigated in mice, while hemostatic activity was assessed by thrombus formation in rabbits.

resultsCompared with rFVIIa, rVIIa-FP displayed a prolonged t(½), enhanced in vivo recovery and reduced clearance in all species investigated. In mice, 16 h after treatment with rVIIa-FP, thrombin levels were quantifiable, indicating prolonged efficacy, whereas values had approached baseline at this time after treatment with rFVIIa. After 12 h, hemostatic efficacy was negligible in rFVIIa-treated rabbits, but sustained in animals receiving rVIIa-FP.

conclusionsThese studies indicate that the longer t(½) of rVIIa-FP compared with rFVIIa translates into extended activity. These findings suggest that rVIIa-FP has the potential to be administered less frequently than rFVIIa-containing concentrates in clinical use.
