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

While external factors can significantly influence the rate and extent of drug absorption from transdermal products, some of these factors are not typically accounted for in the development process. In this study, oxybutynin gel (OXY GEL) was used as a model formulation to understand the impact of a short 3 h occlusion period on the oxybutynin absorption profile both in vitro and in vivo. Using the in vitro permeation test (IVPT) design with skin from 4 human donors, OXY GEL provided significantly greater flux and cumulative amounts of oxybutynin after occlusion was applied, as compared to the unoccluded formulation. These results were in agreement with the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) study conducted with 12 healthy volunteers when temperature, dosing, and timepoints were harmonized between in vitro and in vivo studies to help develop an in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC). Described herein are the IVPT and clinical PK study methods and results used to establish the Level A IVIVC.
