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

backgroundVorapaxar, a novel antiplatelet agent in advanced clinical development for the prevention and treatment of atherothrombotic disease, is a potent, orally bioavailable thrombin receptor antagonist selective for the protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1).

methodsSince race/ethnicity may affect the safety, efficacy and dosage of drugs, this study was conducted to evaluate potential differences in the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and safety of vorapaxar after single (5, 10, 20, or 40 mg) or multiple (0.5, 1, or 2.5 mg once daily) doses in healthy Japanese and matched (gender, age, height, and weight) Caucasian volunteers.

resultsVorapaxar was well tolerated in both Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of vorapaxar in the two racial/ethnic groups were similar. In both racial groups, complete inhibition of platelet aggregation was achieved most rapidly with vorapaxar 40 mg and was consistently achieved and maintained with a 2.5 mg daily maintenance dose.

conclusionThere were no substantial differences in the safety, pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of vorapaxar between Japanese and Caucasian subjects.
