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

The tissue response to long-acting injectables (LAIs) suspension injection may impact the product in vivo performance. One such response is the formation of an inflammatory cell layer (ICL) resulting in an envelope around the injected particles. This study aims to use a mechanistic model to describe the clinical in vivo exposure and performance of an intramuscular LAI suspension and evaluate impact of ICL physiological response at the injection site in humans. Aripiprazole lauroxil (AR-L) was used as the model drug. A baseline pharmacokinetics model was built and validated for aripiprazole. The impact of inflammation on the LAI in vivo performance was assessed by including an ICL model. The developed pharmacokinetic model adequately described the observed plasma profiles of AR following intravenous and oral administration in humans. The initial intramuscular predictions assumed that the absorption rate is dependent on the dissolution and partitioning of AR-L into the systemic circulation from the intramuscular (IM) depot. The simulation resulted in a shape mismatch between the simulated and observed data and an earlier predicted T
