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

Onivyde®, a pegylated irinotecan liposomal formulation, is approved by the USFDA for treating metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Despite the substantial interest in developing its generic versions, the unique structural and manufacturing complexities of liposomal formulations pose challenges. In this study, we address this gap by developing a robust in vitro release test (IVRT) using dialysis membrane techniques. The release of Onivyde® is influenced by several key factors, including the composition of the release medium, temperature, initial formulation concentration, the materials and molecular weight cut-offs of dialysis bags, and the pH of the release medium. Our optimized IVRT for Onivyde® incorporates a release medium containing 5 mM ammonium bicarbonate in a HEPES solution with a pH of 7.4. Additionally, the method includes an initial formulation concentration of 4.6 µg/mL and 50 kDa dialysis bags, while maintaining a temperature of 37 °C with continuous agitation at 80 rpm. This optimized IVR assay effectively differentiates between varying qualities of irinotecan liposomal formulations. Our findings contribute to optimizing IVRT for liposomal irinotecan formulations, enabling better quality control procedures. This assay serves as a reliable tool for evaluating generic irinotecan liposomal formulations, aiding in their development and ensuring in vitro comparability.
