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

purposeTeduglutide is a recombinant analogue of human glucagon-like peptide-2 that has recently been approved for the treatment of short bowel syndrome in adults. This study was designed to study the influence of renal function and age on teduglutide pharmacokinetics.

methodsThis was an open-label study with six parallel groups (6 subjects each). Three groups with renal impairment (moderate, severe and end-stage renal disease) were compared to healthy subjects with normal renal function, which were matched to the renal-impaired subjects with respect to demographics. At least two elderly subjects (≥65 years) were enrolled per group. A single dose of 10 mg teduglutide was subcutaneously administered to each subject. Teduglutide plasma concentrations were measured using a validated liquid chromatography method with tandem mass spectrometric detection, and the primary pharmacokinetic variables (AUCinf and Cmax) were calculated.

resultsArea under the concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of teduglutide in subjects with end-stage renal disease were approximately 2.59- and 2.08-fold higher, respectively, than those of healthy subjects. The AUCinf and Cmax were also slightly higher in subjects with moderate and severe renal impairment. Comparison of healthy subjects aged <65 years with healthy elderly subjects revealed very similar pharmacokinetics in both subgroups.

conclusionsIn our study population, the primary pharmacokinetic parameters of teduglutide increased with increased severity of renal impairment. These results suggest that the daily dose of teduglutide should be reduced by 50 % in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment and end-stage disease. We found no effect of age on the pharmacokinetics of teduglutide in healthy subjects. The treatment was well tolerated, and there were no safety concerns.
