Cardiomyocyte Targeting Peptide to Deliver Amiodarone.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Amiodarone is underutilized due to significant off-target toxicities. We hypothesized that targeted delivery to the heart would lead to lowering of dose by utilizing a cardiomyocyte targeting peptide (CTP), a cell penetrating peptide identified by our prior phage display work. Methods: CTP was synthesized thiolated at the N-terminus, conjugated to amiodarone via Schiff base chemistry, HPLC purified and confirmed with MALDI/TOF. Stability of the conjugate was assessed using serial HPLCs. Guinea pigs (GP) were injected intraperitoneally daily with vehicle (7 days), amiodarone (7 days; 80mg/Kg), CTP-amiodarone (5 days;26.3mg/Kg), or CTP (5 days; 17.8mg/Kg), after which GPs were euthanized, hearts excised, perfused on a Langendorff apparatus with Tyrode's solution and blebbistatin (5μM) to minimize contractions. Voltage (RH237) and Ca Results: CTP-amiodarone remained stable for up to 21 days at 37°C. At ∼1/15 Conclusions: Our data suggests that CTP can deliver amiodarone to cardiomyocytes at ∼1/15
