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

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of levosulpiride in humans after single and multiple intramuscular injections. Six males and six females received single dose of either 25 mg or 50 mg levosulpiride, or multiple doses of 25 mg every 12 h for 5 consecutive days. In the single 25 mg study, the mean peak plasma concentration (C max) was 441 ng/mL, the mean area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 36 h (AUC0-36) was 1724 ng h/mL, and the mean elimination half-life (t 1/2) was 7.0 h. In the single 50 mg study, the mean C max was 823 ng/mL, the mean AUC0-36 was 3748 ng·h/mL, and the mean t 1/2 was 6.8 h. After multiple doses of 25 mg levosulpiride, the average plasma concentration (C av) was 136 ng/mL, the fluctuation index (DF) was 3.60, and the accumulation ratio (R) was 1.2. Levosulpiride injections appeared to be well tolerated by the subjects, and can be used for successive administration.
