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

A semiphysiologically based pharmacokinetic (semi-PBPK) population model was used to evaluate the influence of enterohepatic recycling and protein binding, as well as the effect of genetic variability in CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and ABCG2, on the large interindividual variability of teriflunomide (active metabolite) concentrations following leflunomide administration in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The model was developed with total and free teriflunomide concentrations determined in RA patients taking leflunomide, as well as mean teriflunomide concentrations following the administration of leflunomide or teriflunomide extracted from the literature. Once developed, the 15-compartment model was able to predict total and free teriflunomide concentrations and was used to screen demographic and genotypic covariates, of which only fat-free mass and liver function (ALT) improved prediction. This approach effectively evaluated the effects of multiple covariates on both total and free teriflunomide concentrations, which have only been explored previously through simplistic one-compartment models for total teriflunomide.
