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

purposeThe aim of this study was to develop a useful antibody PK evaluation tool using a combination of cassette-dosing and microsampling in mice and monkeys in order to reduce the number of animals used.

methodsCetuximab, denosumab, infliximab, and a mixture of the three antibodies, i.e., cassette-dosing, were administered intravenously to cynomolgus monkeys, C57BL/6J mice, and homozygous human neonatal Fc-receptor transgenic (Tg32) mice. Mouse blood was collected from one animal continuously via the jugular vein at nine points.

resultsIn cynomolgus monkeys, infliximab showed faster elimination in the cassette-dosing group than in the single-dose group. Anti-drug antibody production was observed, but the PK parameters of the clearance and distribution volume were similar in both groups. In C57BL/6J and Tg32 mice, each of the plasma concentrations-time profiles after cassette-dosing were similar to those after single dosing. PK evaluation using a combination of cassette-dosing and microsampling in mice may reduce the number of mice used by approximately 90% compared with the conventional method.

conclusionsThe combination of antibody cassette-dosing and microsampling is a promising PK evaluation method as a high-throughput and reliable with reduced numbers of mice and cynomolgus monkeys.
