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

aimsThe aims of the study were to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of a novel, pegylated recombinant human consensus interferon-α variant (PEG-IFN-SA) in healthy volunteers. A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic comparison of PEG-IFN-SA and peginterferon-α-2a in healthy subjects was evaluated.

methodsA randomized, dose-escalating, single administration dose phase I clinical study was conducted. Thirty healthy subjects received PEG-IFN-SA as a single dose of 0.5-2.0 μg kg(-1) by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection in four parallel groups. Eight subjects received peginterferon-α-2a as a single dose of 180 μg s.c.

resultsThe incidence rates of adverse events for PEG-IFN-SA and peginterferon-α-2a were 29 of 30 and 7 of 8, respectively. The adverse events for PEG-IFN-SA were mild to moderate and similar to those of peginterferon-α-2a. Within 168 h after injection, the mean values of maximal concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time of dosing to 168 h [AUC(0-168h) ] for 2',5'-oligoadenylate, neopterin and β2 -microglobulin for PEG-IFN-SA at 1.5 μg kg(-1 ) s.c. were similar to or higher than those for peginterferon-α-2a at a dose of 180 μg s.c. After s.c. injection of PEG-IFN-SA at 1.5 μg kg(-1) , the mean geometric mean values of plasma half-life, time to maximal concentration, maximal concentration and AUC(0-168h) were 55.3 h, 26.9 h, 0.53 μg l(-1) and 44.0 μg l(-1)  h, respectively.

conclusionsThe tolerance, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of PEG-IFN-SA support its administration by s.c. injection as a single dose of 1.5 μg kg(-1) or at 2.0 μg kg(-1) per week.
