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

objectivesALO-02 capsules, intended to deter abuse, contain pellets of extended-release oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl), an opioid agonist, surrounding sequestered naltrexone HCl, an opioid antagonist. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of administration of ALO-02 with 20 or 40 % ethanol on the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone.

methodsThis was an open-label, single-dose, randomized, three-way crossover study in 18 healthy fasting adults administered ALO-02 20/2.4 mg (oxycodone/naltrexone) with water, 20 % ethanol, or 40 % ethanol, each under naltrexone block.

resultsMedian time to maximum concentration was 12 h postdose when ALO-02 was administered with water or 20 % ethanol and decreased to 8 h postdose with 40 % ethanol. Geometric mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞) and maximum concentration (Cmax) values were similar for ALO-02 administered with water or 20 % ethanol, and increased by about 13 and 37 %, respectively, for ALO-02 administered with 40 % ethanol versus water. The 90 % confidence intervals (CIs) for AUC∞ and Cmax ratios of ALO-02 with 20 % ethanol versus water were within 80-125 %; upper 90 % CIs were >125 % for ALO-02 with 40 % ethanol versus water. The most common adverse events were mild-to-moderate vomiting, nausea, headache, and somnolence. Incidence of adverse events increased for ALO-02 given with ethanol versus water.

conclusionsOxycodone exposures (Cmax) were unaffected when ALO-02 was administered with 20 % ethanol but Cmax increased by 37 % with 40 % ethanol versus water. ALO-02 administered with ethanol under naltrexone block was generally well tolerated.
