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

We examined the dynamics of removal from circulation, tissue distribution, and persistence of phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (S-ODN) anti-tumor-necrosis-factor and a control of random sequence (randomer) in mice. After intravenous injection, the majority (96%) of S-ODN cleared rapidly from the circulation in the first two phases. In the first phase, 37.8 +/- 2.3% of the radioactivity had a mean half-life (t1/2) of 2.0 +/- 0.4 minutes. In the second phase, 58.1 +/- 1.5% of the radioactivity cleared with t1/2 of 12.6 +/- 0.2 minutes. The catabolic phase, constituting a minor proportion (4.1 +/- 0.8% of the total radioactivity), had a mean t1/2 of 2.7 +/- 0.5 hours. At a low dose (1 microgram) tissue distribution of both S-ODN anti-tumor-necrosis-factor and randomer were similar. The liver and kidneys were the major organs involved in uptake and removal of S-ODN. Autoradiographic studies showed the liver Kupffer cells to be the major site of uptake and renal urinary space for elimination. The clearance rate from the circulation was increased with the dose of S-ODN. In contrast, the fraction of radioactivity localized in the kidneys, liver, and spleen was decreased with increase in dosage. Furthermore, at a high dose (200 micrograms), the tissue distribution of the S-ODN anti-tumor-necrosis-factor differed significantly from the randomer. These findings have general significance in showing that the liver and kidneys are the major organs for removal of S-ODN and these organs are saturable at high doses. In addition, the results have specific importance in defining different parameters, dose and base composition, that affect utilization of antisense oligonucleotides for controlling gene expression in vivo.
