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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivePosaconazole is a potent, extended-spectrum triazole antifungal agent currently in clinical development for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. This study was conducted to compare the bioavailability and resulting serum concentrations of posaconazole 800 mg following administration of three different dose regimens to fasting adults. STUDY

designThis was a randomised, open-label, three-way crossover study.

methodsSubjects fasted 12 hours before and 48 hours after the administration of posaconazole oral suspension (800 mg) given as a single dose (regimen A), 400 mg every 12 hours (regimen B) or 200 mg every 6 hours (regimen C). Plasma posaconazole concentrations were determined for 48 hours after the initial dose and subjects completed a 1-week washout period between treatment regimens. A one-compartment oral model with first-order rate of absorption and first-order rate of elimination was fitted to the plasma concentration-time data. Differences in exposure were investigated by allowing the bioavailability fraction to vary among regimens. STUDY

participantsA total of 18 healthy men were enrolled in and completed the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND

resultsPosaconazole relative bioavailability was estimated to be significantly different among regimens (p < 0.0001) and increased with the number of doses, such that regimen B/regimen A = 1.98 +/- 0.35, representing a 98% increase, and regimen C/regimen A = 3.20 +/- 0.69, or a 220% increase. With use of the one-compartment model, the population steady-state values for area under the concentration-time curve over 24 hours were predicted to be 3900, 7700 and 12 400 microg.h/L, with average plasma concentrations of 162, 320 and 517 microg/L for regimens A, B and C, respectively.

conclusionThese data suggest that divided daily dose administration (every 12 or 6 hours) significantly increases posaconazole exposure under fasted conditions.
