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

purposeSepantronium bromide (YM155) is administered by 168-hour continuous infusions in clinical studies due to its time-dependent pharmacological efficacy and rapid elimination from plasma. To enable more convenient administration, i.e., bolus injections with low frequency, we prepared liposomal formulations of YM155 and evaluated their antitumor activities.

methodsA kinetic simulation model of liposomal YM155 to predict the free drug concentration in both tumor and plasma was developed. A liposomal formulation with the target drug release rate was prepared based on the simulation. Antitumor activities of the formulation were examined in various tumor xenograft mouse models. In addition, antitumor activities of liposomal formulations with different drug release rates were compared in order to confirm the validity of the simulation-based prediction.

resultsLiposomal YM155 with the release half-life of 48 h was prepared as a promising formulation. This formulation showed significantly potent antitumor activities in tumor xenograft models by weekly bolus injections. Further studies demonstrated that this release rate was optimal for YM155 in terms of both efficacy and safety.

conclusionsWe successfully developed a liposomal formulation of YM155 that could substitute for long-term continuous infusion of the drug solution in clinical settings by being given as weekly bolus injections.
