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
introductionThere is currently no consensus in the literature concerning the impact of aging on the properties of hyaluronan (HA) in the subcutaneous (SC) space. Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) facilitates SC administration of injected therapeutics by depolymerizing SC HA, facilitating bulk fluid flow, dispersion and absorption. This study assessed the impact of intrinsic aging on HA in the SC space and thus the ability of rHuPH20 to enhance delivery of co-administered therapeutics.
methodsHistologic evaluations of HA levels and degradation were performed on human skin samples from six age groups, aged from 20 to 100 years. HA levels were evaluated by HA staining and degradation by staining samples for HA following incubation with rHuPH20. HA was extracted from samples and HA size determined by gel electrophoresis. Dermal reconstitution was assessed in young (aged 1.5 months) and elderly (aged > 16 months) mice. Baseline dye dispersion was measured at 5 and 20 min post-intradermal dye injection. Following treatment with rHuPH20, dye dispersion was measured again at 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h.
resultsDistribution of HA was confined to the interstitial space between adipocytes, with similar pericellular presence and levels of HA found across all age groups. Substantial levels of high-molecular-weight HA were observed in all age groups at baseline. Incubation with a clinically relevant dose of rHuPH20 resulted in degradation of all SC HA and similar degradation profiles independent of age. No difference in dye dispersion time was observed between young and elderly mice across the range of time points assessed, with dye dispersion returning to baseline levels by 24 h after rHuPH20 treatment.
conclusionsSubcutaneous delivery of approved therapeutics facilitated by co-administration with rHuPH20 should not be impacted by intrinsic aging, with this study providing no evidence for an effect of aging on HA distribution, structure or a loss of rHuPH20 efficacy.
