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

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is approved for a wide range of therapeutic and aesthetic indications. Many other indication are treated off-label. Therapeutic BoNT preparations consist of the 150kDA two-chain neurotoxin, exerting the therapeutic effect, complexing proteins and excipients. In IncobotulinumtoxinA (INCO), the complexing proteins have been removed. More recently, two products have been approved containing the complex-free neurotoxin: DaxibotulinumtoxinA (DAXI) and RelabotulinumtoxinA (RELA). Excipients may include human serum albumin (HSA), polysorbates, NaCl, KCl, lactose, sucrose, amino acids and phosphates. HSA has been replaced by gelatine and in newer products by polysorbates. Typically, BoNT drugs are stabilised by dehydration through lyophilisation or vacuum drying. More recently, ready-to-use liquid preparations have been introduced: AbobotulinumtoxinA as Alluscience
