Development of rectal enema as microbicide (DREAM): Preclinical progressive selection of a tenofovir prodrug enema.
Article in European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics : official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) strategies have the potential to prevent millions of incident HIV infections each year. However, the efficacy of PrEP strategies has been plagued by issues of non-adherence, likely because of the difficulty in motivating otherwise healthy people to adhere to treatment regimens that require significant behavioral changes and daily discipline. An alternative approach to PrEP is to focus on strategies that fit in to normal, and even desirable, sexual behaviors, such as the use of cleansing enemas by men who have sex with men (MSM) prior to receptive anal intercourse (RAI). Here, we describe preclinical efforts toward optimizing a tenofovir (TFV)-based enema formulation for rectal PrEP. Using a murine model, we compared the plasma and tissue pharmacokinetics of TFV and various TFV prodrugs, including tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), and hexadecyloxypropyl tenofovir (CMX157), after dosing as enema formulations with varying osmolality and ion content. We observed that the enema vehicle composition played a more important role than the TFV prodrug properties in achieving rapid and therapeutically relevant tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentrations in mouse colorectal tissue. Our results support the next steps, which are further preclinical (non-human primate) and clinical development of a hypo-osmolar TFV enema product for rectal PrEP.
