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

backgroundTV-46000 (Uzedy, Teva), a long-acting subcutaneous antipsychotic, is an injectable formulation of risperidone and is approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Its innovative copolymer-based drug delivery depot technology (licensed from MedinCell, Jacou, France) allows for plasma concentrations of the total active moiety of risperidone (TAM) to reach clinically relevant levels within 6-24 h and the maintenance of these therapeutic levels with monthly and bimonthly dosing regimens.

objectiveAs part of the development program for TV-46000, the effect of extrinsic factors of manipulation on the site of injection, and on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of TAM following TV-46000 administration was evaluated.

methodsStudies were conducted assessing the effect of heat and rubbing with male Gottingen minipigs and the effect of rubbing with male beagle dogs. A pilot clinical study in healthy volunteers was performed to evaluate the effect of rubbing.

resultsThese investigations showed that heating or rubbing of the TV-46000 sc injection site immediately post-injection had no clinically meaningful impact on safety and no burst or uncontrolled release was evident. Furthermore, no impact of injection site manipulation on TAM exposure was observed after depot formation (≥0.5 h post-injection).

conclusionsThe observed similarity in findings between the animal and human studies supports the suitability of animal models for evaluation of the effect of extrinsic factors on injection sites and its translatability to clinical settings.
