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

introductionLocal drug delivery minimizes systemic toxicity while delivering high-dose chemotherapy for neuroblastoma patients. We hypothesized that varying burst and maintenance dosing of implanted silk platforms would improve survival.

methodsPlatforms were loaded with vincristine 25μg, 50μg, 100μg, and 200μg varying burst (released 1-4days postimplantation) and maintenance (over the next 20days) dosing. Orthotopic tumors were created in mice using human neuroblastoma KELLY cells. Silk platforms were implanted into tumors when volumewas >300mm

resultsDrug release ranged from burst dosing of 18.2 to 80.9μg, maintenance of 5.0 to 111.6μg, and cumulative of 23.3 to 177.4μg. Animals treated with 200μg platform died 9-13days postimplantation, corresponding to 128.1-141.2μg released (toxic dose). Animals received 30.2±3.4μgday-one survived longer than those that received 10.1±1.1μg (p=0.03), suggesting <10.1μgday-one was insufficient. Tumors treated with 100μg or 50μg silk platform took longer to reach 1000 mm

conclusionPlatform formulations can be manipulated to vary burst and maintenance dosing, summarized by an equation consisting of these variables.
