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

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling has emerged as a valuable tool in model-informed drug development (MIDD). This approach enables the integration of diverse experimental data to predict pharmacokinetics (PK) and dosing regimens and facilitates understanding of mechanism of action (MoA) and pharmacodynamics (PD). In this article we provide a landscape analysis of PBPK submissions at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). We summarize CBER's experience on PBPK modeling and simulation (M&S) for therapeutic proteins, cell and gene therapy products. We discuss specific case studies that illustrate the use of PBPK for dose selection of therapeutic proteins, highlight recent progress and provide our perspectives on potential application of PBPK for adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies and messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics. For cell and gene therapy products, PBPK M&S is emerging as MIDD approaches to support clinical trial design, dose selection, predicting PK/PD, and facilitate quantitative understanding of safety and efficacy. As the field continues to evolve, PBPK modeling is well positioned to provide supportive evidence to facilitate the development of safe and effective biological products.
