Method for Pulmonary Administration Using Negative Pressure Generated by Inspiration in Mice.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
When developing inhaled medicines for respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, drugs need to be administered by pulmonary delivery to animals in non-clinical tests. Common methods require application of pressure during administration, and it may cause lung injury, so we focused on the inhalation of liquid medicines by mice themselves. This study aimed to evaluate a negative pressure method of pulmonary administration in mice by self-inhalation. First, to confirm the accuracy of delivery of liquid medicines into lungs and the potential for lung injury, Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice received methylene blue tetrahydrate or saline by the negative pressure method. We assessed drug distribution and usefulness of this method by administering porcine pancreatic elastase and all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) to mice. Consequently, we confirmed good distribution of the dye and no injury such as disruption of blood flow or destruction of alveoli in lungs of mice. Following production of the murine emphysema model, the mean linear intercept (Lm) was calculated as 78 ± 4 μm. Moreover, a significant therapeutic effect of administration of the ATRA was confirmed. These results suggest that this negative pressure method of administration may be useful for pulmonary administration in non-clinical tests.
