Design Considerations for Intratracheal Delivery Devices to Achieve Proof-of-Concept Dry Powder Biopharmaceutical Delivery in Mice.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeIntratracheal delivery and consistent dosing of dry powder vaccines is especially challenging in mice. To address this issue, device design of positive pressure dosators and actuation parameters were assessed for their impacts on powder flowability and in vivo dry powder delivery.
methodsA chamber-loading dosator assembled with stainless-steel, polypropylene or polytetrafluoroethylene needle-tips was used to determine optimal actuation parameters. Powder loading methods including tamp-loading, chamber-loading and pipette tip-loading were compared to assess performance of the dosator delivery device in mice.
resultsAvailable dose was highest (45%) with a stainless-steel tip loaded with an optimal mass and syringe air volume, primarily due to the ability of this configuration to dissipate static charge. However, this tip encouraged more agglomeration along its flow path in the presence of humidity and was too rigid for intubation of mice compared to a more flexible polypropylene tip. Using optimized actuation parameters, the polypropylene pipette tip-loading dosator achieved an acceptable in vivo emitted dose of 50% in mice. After administering two doses of a spray dried adenovirus encapsulated in mannitol-dextran, high bioactivity was observed in excised mouse lung tissue three days post-infection.
conclusionsThis proof-of-concept study demonstrates for the first time that intratracheal delivery of a thermally stable, viral-vectored dry powder can achieve equivalent bioactivity to the same powder, reconstituted and delivered intratracheally. This work may guide the design and device selection process for murine intratracheal delivery of dry powder vaccines to help progress this promising area of inhalable therapeutics.
