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

purposeTalniflumate was designed as a prodrug of niflumic acid, a potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, which is widely prescribed for treating rheumatoid diseases. The prandial effect on talniflumate absorption remains unclear; therefore, this study investigated the effect of food on the systemic exposure to niflumic acid in healthy volunteers.

methodsVolunteers received a single 740-mg dose of talniflumate 30 min after consuming a high-fat breakfast, a low-fat breakfast, or no food (fasting condition). Plasma concentrations of both talniflumate and niflumic acid were measured using validated high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.

resultsThe maximum concentration of niflumic acid was 224 +/- 193 ng/ml at approximately 2.7 h in the fasted condition compared with 886 +/- 417 ng/ml (p < 0.05) at 1.8 h and 1,159 +/- 508 ng/ml (p < 0.01) at 2.2 h with the low- and high-fat meals, respectively. The mean area under the curve from zero to infinity (AUC(inf)) values after the low- and high-fat meals were four- and fivefold, respectively, the value while fasting (p < 0.05).

conclusionsIt is strongly recommended that talniflumate be taken after a meal to increase systemic exposure to its active metabolite. Our results suggest a reduction in the daily dosage of talniflumate when taken with food.
