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

backgroundThe selective occurrence of hepatotoxicity observed with use of pazopanib may be attributed to its high level of plasma protein binding and low hepatic extraction ratio. The primary objective was to investigate changes in free drug concentration amongst patients with varying albumin concentrations.

methodsA HPLC-MS/MS method using C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm) with ESI source in positive mode had been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of free pazaopanib concentration in human plasma. Prior to sample preparation, patient samples were subjected to 6-hour equilibrium dialysis with molecular weight cut-off set at 8000 Da.

resultsThe calibration curves were linear over the range of 5-1000 ng/mL, with a lower limit of quantification of 5 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precisions and accuracies were all within ± 15 %, at 3 different quality controls. Higher median fraction unbound of pazopanib were observed in patients (n = 17) with lower than normal albumin concentrations.

conclusionWith the developed assay, monitoring of plasma free concentrations may be evaluated as an indicator of pazopanib exposure in patients.
