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

Vismodegib, approved for the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinoma, has shown unique pharmacokinetic (PK) nonlinearity and binding to α1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) in humans. A semi-mechanism-based population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model was developed from a meta-dataset of 225 subjects enrolled in five clinical studies to quantitatively describe the clinical PK of vismodegib and identify sources of interindividual variability. Total and unbound vismodegib were analyzed simultaneously, together with time-varying AAG data. The PK of vismodegib was adequately described by a one-compartment model with first-order absorption, first-order elimination of unbound drug, and saturable binding to AAG with fast-equilibrium. The variability of total vismodegib concentration at steady-state was predominantly explained by the range of AAG level. The impact of AAG on unbound concentration was clinically insignificant. Various approaches were evaluated for model validation. The semi-mechanism-based PopPK model described herein provided insightful information on the nonlinear PK and has been utilized for various clinical applications.
