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

STUDY

objectivesThe present single-dose, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, tolerability and safety of zolpidem tartrate nasal spray (ZNS) as compared to placebo in healthy subjects.

methodsThirty-six healthy subjects participated in this study, with 19 male and 17 female subjects in 3 cohorts (12 subjects per cohort), who were randomly assigned to receive either an intranasal dose of ZNS 1.75 mg, 3.5 mg, 5.0 mg (n = 10 per dose), or an intranasal placebo (n = 2). Multiple venous blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analyses.

resultsPlasma zolpidem concentrations rapidly increased after intranasal ZNS 1.75, 3.5, and 5.0 mg with mean T

conclusionsZolpidem was rapidly absorbed and eliminated after intranasal administration of ZNS. Dose proportionality was found at the doses ranged from 1.75 mg to 5.0 mg. Intranasal exposure of zolpidem was generally higher in female subjects than that in male subjects. It could be concluded that ZNS is safe and well tolerated over the evaluated range of intranasal doses.
