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

purposePhosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotides are promising therapeutic candidates. When given systemically in clinical trials they are administered via slow intravenous infusion to avoid their putative plasma concentration-dependent haemodynamic side-effects. In this study, we have evaluated alternative parenteral and non-parenteral administration routes which have the potential to enhance the therapeutic and commercial potential of these agents.

methodsThe delivery of CGP 64128A by intravenous, subcutaneous, intra-peritoneal, oral and intra-tracheal (pulmonary) routes was investigated in rats using radiolabelled compound and supported by more specific capillary gel electrophoretic analyses.

resultsIntravenously administered CGP 64128A exhibited the rapid blood clearance and distinctive tissue distribution which are typical for phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides. Subcutaneous and intraperitoneal administration resulted in significant bioavailabilities (30.9% and 28.1% over 360 min, respectively) and reduced peak plasma levels when compared with intravenous dosing. Administration via the gastrointestinal tract gave negligible bioavailability (< 2%). Intra-tracheal administration resulted in significant but dose-dependent bioavailabilities of 3.2, 16.5 and 39.8% at 0.06, 0.6 and 6.0 mg/kg, respectively.

conclusionsSignificant bioavailabilities of CGP 64128A were achieved following subcutaneous, intra-peritoneal and intra-tracheal administration. Pulmonary delivery represents a promising mode of non-parenteral dosing for antisense oligonucleotides. The dose-dependent increase in pulmonary bioavailability suggests that low doses may be retained in the lungs for local effects whereas higher doses may be suitable for the treatment of a broader spectrum of systemic diseases.
