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

The development of drug delivery strategies for efficacious therapeutic administration directly into the central nervous system (CNS) in a minimally invasive manner remains a major obstacle hindering the clinical translation of biological disease-modifying therapeutics. A novel direct trans-nasal delivery method, termed 'Minimally-Invasive Nasal Depot' (MIND), has proved to be successful in providing high CNS uptake and brain distribution of blood-brain barrier (BBB) impermeant therapeutics via direct administration to the olfactory submucosal space in a rodent model. The present study describes the engineering of custom-made implants with a unique architecture of an "osmotically-active core" entrapping the therapeutic and a "biodegradable polymeric shell" to enable long-acting delivery using the MIND procedure. The MIND-administered implant provided sustained CNS delivery of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) AntagoNATs for up to 4 weeks in Sprague Dawley rats resulting in significant endogenous BDNF protein upregulation in several brain tissues. The biocompatibility of such core-shell implants coupled with their substantial pharmacokinetic advantages and safety of the MIND procedure highlights the practical utility and translational potential of this synergistic approach for treatment of chronic age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
