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

purposeModulating sialylation of therapeutic glycoproteins may be used to influence their clearance and systemic exposure. We studied the effect of low and high sialylated IL4-10 fusion protein (IL4-10 FP) on in vitro and in vivo bioactivity and evaluated the effect of differential sialylation on pharmacokinetic parameters.

methodsCHO cell lines producing low (IL4-10 FP lowSA) and high sialylated (IL4-10 FP highSA) fusion protein were generated. Bioactivity of the proteins was evaluated in an LPS-stimulated whole blood assay. Pharmacokinetics were studied in rats, analyzing plasma levels of IL4-10 FP upon intravenous injection. In vivo activity was assessed in an inflammatory pain mice model upon intrathecal injection.

resultsIL4-10 FP lowSA and IL4-10 FP highSA had similar potency in vitro. The pharmacokinetics study showed a 4-fold higher initial systemic clearance of IL4-10 FP lowSA, whereas the calculated half-life of both IL4-10 FP lowSA and IL4-10 FP highSA was 20.7 min. Finally, both IL4-10 FP glycoforms inhibited persistent inflammatory pain in mice to the same extent.

conclusionsDifferential sialylation of IL4-10 fusion protein does not affect the in vitro and in vivo activity, but clearly results in a difference in systemic exposure. The rapid systemic clearance of low sialylated IL4-10 FP could be a favorable characteristic to minimize systemic exposure after administration in a local compartment.
