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

A new modality in microbe-mediated drug delivery has recently emerged wherein genetically engineered microbes are used to locally deliver recombinant therapeutic proteins to the gastrointestinal tract. These engineered microbes are often referred to as live biotherapeutic products (LBPs). Despite advanced genetic engineering and recombinant protein expression approaches, little is known on how to control the spatiotemporal dynamics of LBPs and their secreted therapeutics within the gastrointestinal tract. To date, the fundamental pharmacokinetic analyses for microbe-mediated drug delivery systems have not been described. Here, we explore the pharmacokinetics of an engineered, model protein-secreting Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which serves as an ideal organism for the oral delivery of complex, post-translationally modified proteins. We establish three methods to modulate the pharmacokinetics of an engineered, recombinant protein-secreting fungi system: (i) altering oral dose of engineered fungi, (ii) co-administering antibiotics, and (iii) altering recombinant protein secretion titer. Our findings establish the fundamental pharmacokinetics which will be essential in controlling downstream therapeutic response for this new delivery modality.
